51×208 mm filter elements

3 elements from 2 brand(s) share this envelope: 51 mm outside diameter and 208 mm overall length (2.01×8.19 in).

Dimensional interchange — verify before substituting. These cartridges fit the same bowl space; they are not guaranteed drop-in equivalents. Compare grade, end caps, seals, collapse rating and bypass configuration for the specific duty.

Substitution verification checklist

  1. Filtration grade. Compare at the same ISO 16889 Beta test point — “10 µm nominal” and “12 µm β1000” may be the same physical media.
  2. End caps & O-rings. Open/closed cap style and seal position block interchange even with identical OD/length.
  3. Seal compound. NBR is standard for mineral oil; phosphate-esters, high temperatures or bio-oils can demand fluorocarbon.
  4. Collapse rating. Low-collapse (~20 bar) return elements must never replace high-collapse (210 bar) pressure elements.
  5. Bypass strategy. Integral bypass valves (e.g. 3.4 bar) vs reusable housing valves change cold-start behaviour.

Frequently asked questions

Are all 51×208 mm filter elements interchangeable?
They share the same physical envelope — 51 mm OD and 208 mm length (2.01×8.19 in) — so they fit the same bowl. Interchangeability ends there: micron/Beta rating, end-cap geometry, seals, collapse rating and bypass configuration differ across the 3 elements listed and must be checked against the duty.
Is it a drop-in replacement if the OD and length match?
Only after verification. Confirm in order: (1) the filtration grade meets the ISO 4406 cleanliness target at the same Beta test point, (2) end-cap and O-ring arrangement is identical, (3) seal compound suits the fluid (NBR vs fluorocarbon), (4) collapse/burst rating fits pressure-line or cold-start conditions, and (5) the bypass strategy (integral valve vs housing valve) matches.
What is 51×208 mm in inches?
51×208 mm converts to approximately 2.01×8.19 in.
