3 µm Excellenment® Z-Media filter element

For hydraulic systems where fluid cleanliness is a serious concern, 3 microns is a solid choice. That level of filtration catches fine particulate that coarser elements would pass right through, so yes, it fits well in setups where contamination control is a priority. The Z-Media construction also gives it good dirt-holding capacity, meaning it won't load up and need swapping out constantly just because it's pulling in fine particles.
