    1. This document presents an inspection procedure for quantifying the condition of engine oil filters through visual examination and particle size detection. 2. Filters are cut and examined for particle size, which is assigned a value from 10 to 1000 according to size. Larger particles indicate more advanced wear. 3. These quantitative values can be recorded to track filter condition over time and help schedule maintenance before lab results are received. The method provides a low-cost way to prevent component damage through improved inspection.

    MONITORING CONDITION REPORT

    ENGINE FILTER CUTTING- INSPECTION PROCEDURE

    Background: Sometimes it is difficult to quantify the filter inspection. One way to include the

    filter cut into your own fluid analysis program is giving numbers that helps to quantify the state

    of the cut filter element. In order to have the same criteria for all cut filters, we have

    developed an easy and fast way to quantify the visual inspection. This number could be

    ranked and added in your own component monitoring hot sheet.

    A qualitative inspection is given by a quantitative value.

    Procedure:

    1. Use an adequate cut bench in order to cut and inspect the filter element. Refers

    to CAT Best Practices Series Oil Filter Cutting Bench[1].

    2. Once you have a dry filter element extend the filter element and observe the condition

    of the filter.

    3. Define the particle size according to human eyes perception. Normally, human eyes

    detect particles greater that 40 micron.

    4. Once the particle size is detected , add one value according to table 1. ( reference pics)

    Particles 1000 µm Catastrophic failure

    Particles 100 µm Advance failure mode

    Particles 10 µm Begin wear

    Table1. Monitoring table with ranking values, these values define the condition of the filter.

    Compare the visual inspection with the table below.

    Conclusion

    This is a simple and low cost method helps to prevent damages in the components by
    classifying the real condition of the filter element. This method helps to quantify visual
    inspection.

    Good inspection at the right time of filter will help to take action even before the SOS lab
    results.

    These values can be easily tabulated and quantify in the spread sheet ( hot sheet)
