Notes
On all HPK04 heads except the K042420, both the right and left sides are drilled and tapped;
where an indicator is NOT installed, a blank plate or a plug is there. (K042420 is drilled on the
left side only.)

Donaldson uses the inlet port as the reference point. Left side, for instance, means that the
indicator mounts on the side of the filter head that is on your left when you face the inlet port.
Alternate indicator: Electrical indicator (P166298) mounts in place of visual model on left side only.
Alternate indicator: Electrical indicator (P173929) mounts on right side of head only.
Rated for high collapse (3000 psi / 20700 kPa)

Performance Notes
All flow measurements were made with 150 SSU hydraulic oil at 100oF (37.7oC),
fluid specific gravity of 0.9.
The numbers on the curves above refer to specific Donaldson media formulations.
Refer to service element listing for beta ratings and part numbers.
Pressure Drop Calculation: Clean Filter Assembly = head P + element P
Calculation

Definitions:
Element pressure drop from curve
Corrected element pressure drop
New specific gravity
New SSU viscosity (Saybolt Seconds Universal)
New cSt viscosity (centistokes)
New cP viscosity (centipoise)

To correct element drops for viscosity and/or specific gravity, use one of these formulae:
PM = PE x (SSU/150) x (S.G. / 0.9)
or PM = PE x (cSt/32) x (S.G. / 0.9)
or PM = PE x (cP/29)

BunaN Seals. Wire Mesh Filter Media

Copyright 1997

Filters with seals made of

BunaN are appropriate for
most applications involving
petroleum oil. Filters with
seals made of Viton (a
fluoroelastomer) are required
when using diester, phosphate
ester fluids, water glycol,
water/oil emulsions, and
HWCF (high water content
fluids) over 150F. Donaldson
offers both types, as shown in
the table at left. (Viton is a
registered trademark of
DuPont Chemical Corp.)
In Donaldson filters with Viton
seals, epoxy potting is also
used to accommodate higher
temperature environments.
The plastisol (heat cured) and
urethane (self curing) potting
materials used in other filters
perform well with petroleumbased fluids.
Synteq filter media is
compatible with petroleum
based fluids, and most
phosphate esters, water oil
emulsions, and HWCF (high
water content fluids).
Donaldson high collapse
filters, with their steel endcaps
and reinforcing wire-backed
media, are rated to withstand
up to 3000 psi / 20,700 kPa
before collapsing.
