Who has the thickest can?

[Coaster4534]

I have an odd question, I'm looking for a thick walled filter for a project.
I just need the can cut off the filter.
Something with around 4" diameter, 51515 filter size or bigger. ( can be shorter or longer)
So far the filters I have cut apart here are too thin.
Bonus if there's a stainless version?

What have you cut apart?

I haven't measured but the thickest I have seen lately was probably a Hengst.

If its a science project that needs a can why not cut open a single walled water bottle - it would be stainless - just not a great grade of stainless

I need the domed top.
I have considered bottles, cups beakers if I can't finds a suitable can.

OEM hyundai ?

Pentius XL filter cans are pretty thick, at ~0.64 mm. I don't think you'll find a filter with a much thicker can. The PLXL5 might be around 4" diameter. Not sure if that's the widest model.

The ford racing cans are really thick. Maybe a 820 or 500 ?

Hydraulic?

 

[SubieRubyRoo]

Thickest can ever, right here.

I’d think the Fram Racing cans are pretty thick also.

Possible that a Fram Racing filter is thicker.

Have to concur with that. I had a heckuva time cutting my last one open. That wall thickness is something else.

 

[Opelman]

Give Baldwin a shot.

You have a part number?
Want to check size

Baldwin makes a very sturdy filter. The B2-HPG that I use as a transmission filter on many of my cars takes a LOT of work to cut open. No need for the HPG filter media - pick a Baldwin that meets your size requirements.

It’s like a shelf! You could set a can of beer on that can. Yow!

I was going to order the b2 anyways as I'm trying to switch everything over to baldwin.
B2hpg is not as easy to get, I assume it uses the same construction?

 

[Fair enough]

The Pentius plxl was hard to cut open and visibly thicker than the usual. The Purolator Boss also. Right now the Boss may be cheaper.

I assume so, as well. I use them as a transmission filter, and chose that filter because of the internal bypass (8 PSI IIRC). Wrote a whole thread on it, if you’re interested, but that thread is pretty far OT from your objective, a thicker can for your project.

I run a transmission filter on the 2002 V70XC in my signature. At 301,xxx miles, it got an oil change and transmission drain and fill. The car shifts great, by the way and the transmission is original.

The transmission fluid was HPL blue ATF - with about 15,000 miles on it. The filter had about the same. Good filter. The antidrainback valve was pliable, the can was thick, the core was metal and it had consistent pleats.

Nothing was found in the filter media. It was perfectly clean. Interestingly, the magnetic drain plug in the transmission had virtually no metal particles on it. I...

The hydrostat filter on my tractor is halfway to a scuba tank, I think the charge pressure runs at 300-400psi? Or maybe at full hydraulic pressure ~2000psi? I'm pretty sure they are rebuildable as the base plate seems to thread into the can, but I haven' bothered to try to take one apart. About 3" diameter though, and aluminum, but there is a lot of it.

The hydraulic fluid filter is ~4"x8" and fairly solid too as its on the vacuum side, so it can't implode.

Both of these are just scrap metal after use, so a dealer might just let you have a used one. The hydrostat filter is ~$100 new, the hydraulic one is much cheaper.

Searching Baldwin high pressure hydraulic filters I found that komatsu filter.
EBay knock of filters around $35 or a wix or Baldwin around $80.
Might try one of those. No one lists burst pressure.
