HC9650FCP8Z filter element: specifications & equivalents
The HC9650FCP8Z is a Pall inline-line hydraulic filter element, built with glassfiber media, rated at 5 µm absolute (βx(c)≥1000). Verify against the current manufacturer data sheet before ordering.
Pall's Lube & Hydraulic Crossover Tool prints removal rating, nominal length and seal only for Coralon elements — no OD, ID, collapse or bypass data. Verify envelope dimensions against the current Pall data sheet before ordering.

Typical equipment & applications
- Coralon hydraulic/lube-oil filter element per Pall’s official crossover mapping.
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).
- Fine 5 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.
