Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).

Introduction
In hydraulic fluid power systems, power is transmitted and controlled through a fluid under pressure
within an enclosed circuit. Filters maintain fluid cleanliness by removing insoluble contaminants.
The filter element is the porous device which performs the actual process of filtration.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 3723:2015(E)

Hydraulic fluid power — Filter elements — Method for

end load test

1 Scope
This International Standard specifies a method for verifying the end load rating of a hydraulic fluid
power filter element. It also verifies the ability of a hydraulic fluid power filter element to withstand the
designated axial loading imposed by installation and use.

2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated
references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO 2941, Hydraulic fluid power — Filter elements — Verification of collapse/burst pressure rating
ISO 2943, Hydraulic fluid power — Filter elements — Verification of material compatibility with fluids
ISO 5598, Fluid power systems and components — Vocabulary
iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
3 Terms and definitions (standards.iteh.ai)
For purposes of this document, the terms ISO and3723:2015
definitions in ISO 5598 and the following apply.
https://standards.iteh.ai/catalog/standards/sist/9906543b-4022-42ba-
3.1 8350-286e8ce0d205/iso-3723-2015
end load
axial force applied to the end of a filter element which can cause permanent deformation or seal failure
3.2
rated end load
maximum specified axial force which can be applied to a filter element without permanent deformation
or seal failure

4 Test equipment
Suitable weights or mounting fixtures for applying the designated axial loads to simulate the installation
and usage requirements of the filter element undergoing evaluation.

5 Test procedure

5.1 Subject the filter element to the material compatibility test according to ISO 2943.

5.2 After the 72 h hot soak portion of ISO 2943, cool the filter element to room temperature and subject
it for 5 min to the axial load designated by the filter manufacturer.

6 Criteria for acceptance

6.1 There shall be no visual evidence of structural, seal, or filter medium failure.

ISO 3723:2015(E)


6.2 The filter element shall successfully complete the collapse/burst test in accordance with ISO 2941.

7 Identification statement
Use the following statement in test reports, catalogues, and sales literature when electing to comply
with this International Standard:
“Method of verifying filter element end load rating conforms to ISO 3723, Hydraulic fluid power — Filter
elements — Method for end load test.”
