HC2208FCT6H filter element: specifications & equivalents

Q: What micron rating does HC2208FCT6H use?

This element is rated 22 µm absolute — β22(c) > 1000 per ISO 16889. Always compare Beta ratings at the same test point: two brands may print different micron numbers for the same physical grade.

The HC2208FCT6H is a Pall return-line hydraulic filter element, built with red1000 with coralan srt (stress-resistant media technology) media, rated at 22 µm absolute (β22(c) > 1000 per ISO 16889). 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.
This element has no integral bypass — opening pressure is set by the housing’s reusable bypass valve. Confirm the valve setting (commonly 3.4 bar) is present before fitting.
“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.

Frequently asked questions

What micron rating does HC2208FCT6H use?

This element is rated 22 µm absolute — β22(c) > 1000 per ISO 16889. Always compare Beta ratings at the same test point: two brands may print different micron numbers for the same physical grade.

What replaces the HC2208FCT6H filter element?

2 catalog-confirmed full match(es) (0110 R 020 BN4HC, RHR110G20B3/AB1)

How do I read the HC2208FCT6H part number?

See the designation decoder above: each segment of HC2208FCT6H 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.
