CS070A16AP01 filter element: specifications & equivalents

Q: What micron rating does CS070A16AP01 use?

This element is rated 16 µm absolute. Always compare Beta ratings at the same test point: two brands may print different micron numbers for the same physical grade.

The CS070A16AP01 is a MP Filtri return-line hydraulic filter element, built with inorganic microfiber media, rated at 16 µm absolute. Verify against the current manufacturer data sheet before ordering.

Filtration rating 16 µm abs.

Media Inorganic microfiber

Line type return

Identity-only record. No engineering parameters for this part number are available from any public catalog we can cite, and no cross reference resolves to a verified page yet. This page exists so the number can be found and linked — do not order a substitute without confirming dimensions, ratings and seals against the housing. The engineering desk can verify equivalents on request.

Ordering code and media options are taken from the MP Filtri Spin-on catalogue MPS booklet (CAT_HF_SPIN-ON_MPS_EN p.6); multipass Beta(c)=1000 ratings for size 150 are quoted from the US GRF/UFM replacement-element table. US MP Filtri literature lists this cartridge under the CSG prefix and interchange lists also quote leading-zero-dropped and execution-slot-dropped short forms; all are indexed as aliases of this page. The catalogues print overall MPS filter dimensions but no cartridge envelope dimensions, thread or collapse rating; verify against the current MP Filtri data sheet before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

What micron rating does CS070A16AP01 use?

This element is rated 16 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 CS070A16AP01 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 CS070A16AP01 part number?

See the designation decoder above: each segment of CS070A16AP01 encodes size, line type, filtration grade and media/collapse execution.

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.
