BETAMICRON® 3 PLUS
High Technology
Filter Elements
Betamicron® 3 Plus Filter Media
Performance Plus
New generation Betamicron® 3
Plus elements provide unmatched
cleaning efficiency and dirt-holding
capacity in the most demanding
hydraulic and lubrication systems.
Based on results of an extensive
multipass testing program, the
Betamicron® 3 Plus performance
far exceeds that of other widely
used absolute-rated elements.
Industry standard tests were
conducted on Betamicron® 3 Plus
elements and randomly selected
elements of like-size produced by
five leading manufacturers.
Comparative performance was
based upon three key factors:
• Time-weighted
Average Beta Ratio:
Dirt removal efficiency
over the life of the element
• Stability:
Beta Ratios achieved at
elevated differential pressures
• Specific Dirt-Holding capacity:
Weight of contaminants
captured per unit of surface
area over the life of the element
Results
Betamicron®
3 Plus has the:
• Highest Beta Ratios and
Contamination control
Capability
• Highest Stability Under
Adverse Conditions
• Highest Dirt Capacity and
Longest Element Life
Protection Plus
Betamicron® 3 Plus elements
offer maximum protection to
critical hydraulic and lubrication
system components. Efficient
and reliable, these technologically
advanced elements remove an
extremely high percentage of
damaging particles from all
commonly used fluids.
By effectively eliminating contaminants that cause premature
component wear and equipment
failure, Betamicron® elements
provide the fluid cleanliness
levels to protect your system
investment over its total life.
Resulting Benefits
• Longer Equipment Life
• Less Downtime
• Higher System Efficiency
• Less Energy Loss
• Longer Fluid Life
• Lower Operating Cost
• Lower Maintenance Cost

Superior Element
Construction
Superior performance depends
on both design of the media and
quality of element construction. Two
layers of active media - a pre-filter
and final filter layer - optimize
filtration of course and fine particles,
providing maximum efficiency and
dirt-holding capacity.
Multiple resilient support layers
maintain the stability of media and
pleating despite flow surges and
pressure fluctuations, ensuring that
the performance of Betamicron® 3
elements remains exceptionally high
in the most dynamic systems.
A special universal epoxy,
compatible with all commonly used
hydraulic fluids, bonds and seals
element components to provide
excellent structural integrity and
reliability.
Key Features
1 Nickel-coated end caps and
support tube
2 Inner screen to stabilize
deep pleats
3 Support layer to back up
active media layers
4 Final active depth layer to
remove fine particles
5 Pre-filter depth layer to
remove course articles
6 Diffusion layer to equalize
flow across surface
7 Outer screen to stabilize
pleats (under cover)
8 Multi-Protection cover (for
high pressure lements)

BETAFIT® Filter Elements
BETAFIT®
Filter Elements
HYDAC manufactures high quality filter elements that are dimensionally similar
to other manufacturer's elements and will fit interchangeably into their filter
housings. This catalog lists the interchange elements and the models which they
replace and is organized by manufacturer. Even When your hydraulic or lube oil
system doesn’t have a HYDAC filter assembly, it doesn’t mean that you cannot
benefit from our Betamicron® Element technology. The high beta ratios and leading
dirt holding capacities of these elements extend service life and provide a greater
price to maintenance cost ratio than elements from other manufacturers.

Catalog
This condensed catalog serves as a quick reference guide for selecting
HYDAC filters. The models are divided into high, medium, and low pressure
groups. Charts then describe each filter in the group. Each model description
includes mounting method, maximum operating pressure, maximum flow rates,
number of sizes and connection size range, flow path, clogging indicator type,
and a brief description of features and benefits. General information about
clogging indicators, element types, breathers, and filler breathers is also
included.

Filtration Technology
HYDAC Filter Technology is the result of many years of research, development
and performance evaluation both in test stands and actual applications.
HYDAC’s Filter Division produces a complete range of filters. This range
includes in-line, in-tank, inside-tank, direct mount, and manifold mount, modular
stacking filters. Also available are duplex models for systems requiring continuous
operation. This catalog provides a general overview and photos of HYDAC filter
families with information on pressure and flow ratings, and mounting types. It
serves as a handy reference to select the appropriate series of filter(s) for the
application in need of filtration. More detailed literature that includes specific
technical data and dimensioned drawings is available for all models.

Although there is great diversity in mobile equipment designs, the common demand in
the industry for improved performance has resulted in systems growing in complexity
and cost. Precision hydraulic components – variable displacement pumps and motors,
load control valves, and proportional controls – are increasingly applied to enhance
machine power, speed and versatility. Higher operating pressures – in excess of 6,000
psi – are increasing in usage in order to generate higher force and torque from a smaller
and lighter package. As fluid power systems are built to function more precisely at
higher pressures, protection against wear and malfunction becomes vital. HYDAC’s
range of filtration products are designed to provide the necessary level of protection to
maintain the efficiency, useful life and safety of high performance fluid power systems.
