I would like to ask what mesh size is required for the filter at the oil inlet of the hydraulic system’s oil pump (46# anti-wear hydraulic oil), and how to select it. The inlet pipe for the oil pump in our company has a diameter of 60 mm. What size filter screen is needed? Technical parameters of the oil pump: flow rate 680 L/min, power: 62.5 KW, system pressure 20 MPa. Thank you
I work in filtration; I was wondering why you don’t approach equipment suppliers? What kind of filters were used in your equipment before?
The poster selected the filter screen based on the filtration accuracy of 46# anti-wear hydraulic oil, referring to the table below.

Mesh size refers to the number of openings per square inch of the filter screen – 50 mesh means there are 50 openings per square inch, 500 mesh means 500 openings, and the higher the mesh size, the more openings there are. In addition to indicating the mesh size of the sieve, it is also used to represent the particle size of particles that can pass through the sieve; the higher the mesh number, the smaller the particle size. 2. The size of powder particles is referred to as particle size. Due to the complex shape of particles, there are usually several ways to represent them, such as sieving particle size, sedimentation particle size, equivalent volume particle size, and equivalent surface area particle size. The screening particle size refers to the size of the holes in the sieve through which particles can pass, and it is expressed as the number of holes per inch (25.4 mm) of sieve width, which is why it is called “mesh count”. Currently, there are no unified technical standards for powder particle size at either the domestic or international level; each company has its own definitions and methods for expressing particle size. There are different standards for screen specifications in various ** and different industries; therefore, the meaning of \"mesh size\" is also difficult to standardize. Currently, in the international community, the calculated diameter of equivalent volume particles is commonly used to represent particle size. Expressed in μm or mm. The table below shows the comparison between the mesh sizes and particle sizes (μm) commonly used in our country.

In general hydraulic systems, oil filtration is carried out using tight-fitting filters or custom-made filters; metal filter screens are typically employed, and depending on the operational requirements of the hydraulic system, screens with a mesh size of around 200 mesh are often used
200 mesh is around 70 microns, so it seems that this precision isn’t very high either, right?
Because the normal clearance of the push oil cylinder is between 0.02 and 0.15
