The published envelope is 99.1 mm OD × 703.6 mm length with a 40.9 mm inside diameter (3.902 × 27.701 in × 1.610 in ID). Confirm against the housing drawing before ordering.

Q: What micron rating does 5.03.27 D 03 OH/PS /-V use?

This element is rated 3 µm absolute — β3 > 1000 (HYDAC grade convention: β5(c) ≥ 1000). Always compare Beta ratings at the same test point: two brands may print different micron numbers for the same physical grade.

The 5.03.27 D 03 OH/PS /-V is a HYDAC pressure-line hydraulic filter element, built with oh/ps=optimicronh pulse media, sized 99.1 × 703.6 mm OD × length (ID 40.9 mm), rated at 3 µm absolute (β3 > 1000 (HYDAC grade convention: β5(c) ≥ 1000)). Verify against the current manufacturer data sheet before ordering.

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

Line type is not interchangeable: return-line cartridges are low-collapse executions that typically tolerate roughly 10–20 bar differential, while pressure-line elements are commonly rated 100–210 bar. Installing a low-collapse element in a pressure housing can rupture the media on cold-start spikes.
“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.
This execution uses fluorocarbon (viton) seals — verify the compound against the fluid data sheet: standard nitrile (NBR) can fail early in phosphate-ester fluids and at sustained high temperature, where fluorocarbon/Viton executions may be required.
Fine 3 µm media loads faster and runs at a higher cold Δp than coarser grades — only downgrade cleanliness targets if the system ISO 4406 code allows it.
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 5.03.27 D 03 OH/PS /-V filter element?

The published envelope is 99.1 mm OD × 703.6 mm length with a 40.9 mm inside diameter (3.902 × 27.701 in × 1.610 in ID). Confirm against the housing drawing before ordering.

What micron rating does 5.03.27 D 03 OH/PS /-V use?

This element is rated 3 µm absolute — β3 > 1000 (HYDAC grade convention: β5(c) ≥ 1000). Always compare Beta ratings at the same test point: two brands may print different micron numbers for the same physical grade.

What replaces the 5.03.27 D 03 OH/PS /-V 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 5.03.27 D 03 OH/PS /-V part number?

See the designation decoder above: each segment of 50327D03OHPSV 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 filter 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.
