SAE J1985 FUEL FILTER INITIAL SINGLE-PASS EFFICIENCY TEST METHOD

 

This SAE Standard is intended for all sizes of fuel filters. The low contamination level, downstream clean-up filter, and short duration of the test, ensures that the particle retention ability of the filter is measured in a single pass as no appreciable loading or regression will occur.

The purpose of this test code is to provide a method to determine the ability of a fuel filter to retain a given size of particle in a single pass.

  • You choose the micron size particles you would like to test the efficiency for

  • You choose the flowrate, fluid type, and contaminant and report units

  • Send us your filters, filter media, or flat sheet media

  • Send us your filter housing

  • We can help you with any questions you have to ensure the testing meets your or your client’s needs
