01.E 90.16VG.30.E.P.VA filter element: specifications & equivalents

The 01.E 90.16VG.30.E.P.VA is a Eaton / Internormen pressure-line hydraulic filter element, built with glass fiber fleece (vg) media, sized 45 × 175 mm OD × length, rated at 15 µm absolute. Verify against the current manufacturer data sheet before ordering.

Envelope OD × L 45 × 175 mm
Filtration rating 15 µm abs.
Media Glass fiber fleece (VG)
Collapse / burst 30 bar
Line type pressure
Catalog verified. Parameters extracted from the manufacturer’s electronic catalog / official interchange document and checked 2026-09-28. Confidence score 0.90.

Specs come from Eaton's product data hub via its site-search API. The µm retention rating follows ISO 16889 (absolute convention), while the model-code fineness grade is nominal — match both before substituting.

How the 01.E 90.16VG.30.E.P.VA model number is decoded

  • 01.E 90.16VG.30.E.P.VAEaton 01.E Pressure filter element model code (Eaton 01.E Pressure Filter Element).
  • 308505Eaton catalog number (order code) for the same element.
  • 16 VGFilter fineness grade: nominal rating and media letter.
  • 15 µmISO 16889 multipass retention rating as published by Eaton.
  • Glass fiber fleece (VG)Filter media execution.
  • 30 barDelta-P resistance class — maximum differential pressure (collapse) rating.
  • Nitrile (Buna-N)Seal compound.
  • 45 mmOuter diameter.
  • 175 mmElement height.

Typical equipment & applications

  • Pressure-line hydraulic filters upstream of control valves
  • High-differential-pressure industrial hydraulic circuits
  • Hydraulic power units for steel, paper and power generation

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

  • “10 µm nominal” and “12 µm at β1000” can describe the very same media — one is reported at β≥200, the other at β≥1000 per ISO 16889. Compare ratings at the same Beta test point, not just the printed micron number.
  • Nitrile (NBR) seals are standard for mineral hydraulic oil but fail early in some phosphate-ester fluids and at sustained high temperature; verify seal compound against the fluid data sheet (fluorocarbon/Viton executions may be required).
  • End-cap geometry and the number/position of O-rings block interchange even when OD and length match — visually compare end caps before fitting, especially with aftermarket cartridges.

Frequently asked questions

What are the dimensions of the 01.E 90.16VG.30.E.P.VA filter element?
The published envelope is 45 mm OD × 175 mm length (1.772 × 6.890 in). Confirm against the housing drawing before ordering.
What micron rating does 01.E 90.16VG.30.E.P.VA use?
This element is rated 15 µm absolute. Always compare Beta ratings at the same test point: two brands may print different micron numbers for the same physical grade.
What replaces the 01.E 90.16VG.30.E.P.VA filter element?
Cross references are being verified for this model — use the inquiry form and the engineering desk will confirm equivalents.
How do I read the 01.E 90.16VG.30.E.P.VA part number?
See the designation decoder above: each segment of 01E9016VG30EPVA encodes size, line type, filtration grade and media/collapse execution.
Is a same-envelope aftermarket element always a drop-in replacement?
No. Matching OD and length only proves the cartridge fits the bowl. End-cap style, seal compound, micron/Beta rating, collapse pressure and bypass configuration must also match; the table above tags every equivalent as full, partial or verify for exactly this reason.
How often should a hydraulic return-line element be replaced?
Replace at the housing manufacturer’s recommended differential-pressure setting (commonly signalled by a clogging indicator), or on a time-based service interval when no indicator is fitted — never wait for bypass to open continuously, because unfiltered oil then reaches the valves.
