INTRODUCTION 
The High Pressure Filter (see Figure 1) is intended for use 
with the PPCH Hydraulic Pressure Controller.  The filter 
connects to either a stand alone PPCH (see Figure 2) or to 
a PPCH with a PG7302 (see Figure 3). This document 
contains instructions for connecting the fittings and tubing 
for optimal proper performance. 
The filter has DH500 fittings at either end. This is the same 
type of fitting that is on the PPCH TEST port. It is important 
that the filter be positioned and oriented as shown in Figure 
2 and Figure 3. In particular, the filter should not be installed 
between the PPCH and the PG7302 piston gauge. 
CLEANING OR REPLACING THE FILTER 
Depending on operating conditions, the filter may become 
filled with contaminants from the test circuit. This means the 
filter is doing its job.  
If the filter shows signs of reduced flow, the filter should be 
replaced with a new filter. Alternatively the filter may be 
backwashed to remove contaminants, however 
backwashing must be done very carefully to avoid 
introducing contaminants to the PPCH. The safest 
backwash method is to disconnect the inlet (DUT side) of 
the filter and use the PPCH prime function to run oil through 
the filter and into a catch vessel. 
Disconnecting the filter to run a high pressure solvent 
through the filter elements may be done but great care must 
be taken to ensure that the solvent is completely removed 
and no particles or contaminants are introduced to the outlet 
(PPCH side) of the filter. 
 
  If the filter becomes clogged in use then a pressure 
difference between the PPCH or PPCH/PG and the DUT 
may result during pressure ramps, including vent. This 
could prevent proper operation and cause significant 
measurement error.
