Hi,
A particular filter that is in use for the Hydraulic System of an aircraft that i maintain, keeps on clogging. When we cut open the filter, we find that it is heavily clogged with a dark greyish substance. When we send the dark greyish substance to the Laboratory for examination, the laboratory told us that the substance is a cellulosic material. I'm puzzled because i'm not aware of such material being used in the Hydraulic System. Does anyone have a similar experience?
One possible suspect is the filter itself, but when I tried to look through the filter OEM's website, but there is no material of the construct of the filter there.
Thanks in advance, and regards
Ethan
