ISO 11170:2013定义了验证滤芯的一系列测试。它可以用来检查它们的水力、机械和分离特性。 ISO 11170:2013并不是为了使过滤器符合特定的工作条件或复制服务条件。这只能通过为此目的制定的特定测试协议来实现，包括实际使用条件（例如工作流体）。 ISO 11170:2013中的程序适用于具有类似化学性质的单个流体或流体类型。

ISO 11170:2013 defines a sequence of tests for verifying filter elements. It can be used to check their hydraulic, mechanical and separation characteristics. ISO 11170:2013 is not intended to qualify a filter for a particular duty or replicate conditions of service. This can only be done by a specific test protocol developed for the purpose, including actual conditions of use (e.g. the operating fluid). The procedure in ISO 11170:2013 is applicable to individual fluids or types of fluids that have similar chemistry.
