This SAE Recommended Practice is applicable to coolant filters installed on mobile or stationary equipment. It describes a body of tests used to characterize the stuctural integrity and filtration performance of coolant filters.

Purpose

The purspose of this document is to provide a standardized method for evaluating the performance characteristics on bench equipment. This combined with data collected from "in-service" applications may be used for establishing standards of performance for coolant filters tested in this manner.
