GLOSSARY Glossary Glass fibre HYDAC standard with dimensions for the installation space for HYDAC clogging indicators. Polyamide Polyester Polypropylene β-value (beta value) The β-value is a measure of the effec- tiveness of a filter element. For a specific particle size x, this β-value defines the number of these particles before the filter in relation to the number of particles after the filter.
