Over the years during which fluid filtration systems have been developing, many terms have come into use for descriptions of characteristics of filter media, filter assemblies, test methods, and test materials. Inevitably, some terms have been applied loosely, so that the same term may have different meaning to different people, or in different frames of reference. Recognizing the need for clearly defined terms, which can have only one meaning for all persons in all circumstances, so that documents dealing with standard methods of evaluation of filters will have only one interpretation, the Filter Test Methods Subcommittee of the SAE Engine Committee has compiled this Glossary of related terms. No attempt has been made to produce an all-inclusive document, containing definitions of all terms related to all types of fluid filters. Instead, the Glossary is confined to the terms likely to be encountered in relation to filters for lubricating oil and fuels.

This SAE Standard is intended for all sizes of fuel filters, so a variety of test stands may be required depending upon flow rate. The low contamination level, downstream clean-up filter, and short duration of the test ensure that the particle retention ability of the filter is measured in a single pass, as no appreciable loading or regression will occur.

This SAE Standard defines the requirements for fluid to be used in the SAE Fuel Filter Test Procedures.

This SAE Standard defines the requirements for fluid to be used in the SAE Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems Filter Test Procedures.

The purpose of this SCR filter test method is to provide standardized methods for evaluation the filter characteristics of the SCR filter by bench test methods. This, combined with data obtained from application test, maybe used to establish standards of performance for filters when tested by these standard methods. Many variation in requirements of filtration to protect the SCR supply equipment on vehicles and variations in operational conditions make it difficult to specify meaningful “in-service” performance standards by which a filter may be judged. By the use of these standard test methods, test conditions are always the same, and comparison of the laboratory performance of filters may be made with a high degree of confidence. Once the requirement of a particular application are known, performance standards for suitable filters may be established by these test methods, and adequacy of performance of filters for the job may be determined.

To update and document the oil filter test methods currently captured in SAE HS 806. This will allow for the evaluation of performance characteristics of full-flow oil filters using updated methods.

This SAE Recommended Practice is applicable to gasoline and diesel fuel filters installed on fuel dispensing equipment, mobile or stationary.
