ISO 4548-5 Internal Combustion Engines - Test Methods for Lubricating Oil Filters

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ISO 4548-5 testing. This standard specifies a method for testing the ability of full-flow lubricating oil filters manufactured with metal pressure vessel materials for internal combustion engines to withstand an internal pressure surge.

ISO 4548-5 Internal Combustion Engines - Test Methods for Lubricating Oil Filters

Normally, fluctuations occur when an engine is cold-started, and cyclical internal pressure changes occur during operation. These tests are designed to apply to spin-on filters and detachable filters with disposable elements. The tests may be applied to other filters, if deemed appropriate, by agreement between the filter manufacturer and the purchaser.

ISO 4548 (all parts) specifies standard test procedures for measuring the performance of full-flow lubricating oil filters for internal combustion engines. The series is prepared in separate chapters, each dealing with a specific performance feature. The tests together provide the necessary information to evaluate the properties of a filter, but tests can be performed separately if agreed between the buyer and the manufacturer.

Pressure transducers should be mounted directly on or as close to the test component as possible to record the internal conditions applied to the component. Any restriction between the transducers and the pressure containing envelope under test should be avoided.

The test rig will include the following components, along with the necessary piping, connectors, and supports:

  • oil tank;
  • pump assembly;
  • The filter to be tested;
  • Inlet pressure control valve;
  • solenoid valves;
  • outlet pressure control valve;
  • Manometer;
  • Solenoid sequence timer and counter;
  • Cooling coils (heat exchanger);
  • Thermostat (to operate the cut-off switch).
