Independent interchange data

Hydraulic filter cross reference chart

Part-number interchanges for 13 hydraulic filter manufacturers, built from public catalogs and official interchange documents. 144,906 graded rows in the open dataset — every one carries its source and a match level so you know what is safe to substitute.

What the match levels mean

full

Same envelope, filtration rating and seals per the cited catalog — a drop-in under the stated conditions.

partial

Envelope matches, but micron rating, collapse pressure, bypass or seals differ. Engineering review required before ordering.

verify

Quoted as an equivalent by an aftermarket table; catalog confirmation still pending.

Look up a single part number

The charts above are reference overviews. To check one specific part number against the whole dataset, use the cross reference finder, browse elements by measured OD × length, or open the brand index for full model listings.

Charts list the strongest matches first, so a truncated table still shows the rows with the most solid catalog backing. Interchange data is published openly under CC BY 4.0.

Frequently asked questions

What is a filter cross reference chart?
A cross reference chart maps one manufacturer's filter element part number to the part numbers other manufacturers and aftermarket suppliers publish as equivalents. ElementRef builds its charts only from public catalogs and official interchange documents — never from price lists or estimates — and tags every row with a match level so you can see whether the swap is catalog-confirmed or still needs parameter review.
Are the equivalents on these charts drop-in replacements?
Only rows tagged full are catalog-confirmed drop-ins. Rows tagged partial match the envelope but differ in micron rating, collapse pressure, bypass configuration or seal compound, and rows tagged verify are commonly quoted in the aftermarket without a confirming catalog entry. Always compare Beta rating at the same test point, seal material and end-cap style before substituting.
Why do some rows link to a model page and others do not?
A row links to a specification page when this site publishes a verified page for that part number. Rows whose counterpart has no published page still appear, because the interchange itself is published data worth recording — the note names the document it came from. Request any missing part number and it is prioritised in the verification queue.
Where does this cross-reference data come from?
From manufacturer catalogues, official interchange documents and public aftermarket cross-reference tables. Every row keeps its source document and extraction date with it, and the dataset is published openly under CC BY 4.0 so the underlying citations can be audited.
