Total Manufacturing Control
– Tempest™ Original filters are the
only aviation oil filters made in a state of the art aviation oil
filter plant built solely for, and dedicated to, the manufacture
of aviation oil filters. Total process control helps insure the
highest standard of quality.
Magnetic Filtration System
– The Tempest™ Original filter has more media
area (311square inches) than any other aviation oil filter. An internal
magnet, designed to attract fine steel particles to small to be
caught by the filter media that can be harmful to the engine, effectively
increases the filtration performance of the filter.
Six-pack Packaging –
Tempest™ filters are available in popular “Six-Packs”
as well as the traditional case of twelve. Six-packs are economical,
convenient, and easy to handle
Improved Nut Welds –
Nut welds are so strong that the can will distort without breaking
the welds! During production testing nuts are actually ripped away
from the can – the base metal must fail, the welds must not
(see photo). Using Tempest™ Original filters means
no more frustration with installation nuts falling off.
Meets TCM bypass Specification
of 12-14psi, reducing risk of premature bypass that can result in
unfiltered oil flowing to your engine.
Burst strength of 600 psi
– Significant improvements
to the roll seam process used on the bottom of the can substantially
improved the design burst strength of the Tempest™ Original
oil filter to over 600 pounds per square inch, exceeding the ARP
1400 standard by 50 percent. Extra strength gives added assurance
that Tempest oil filters are made to withstand the harshest operating
conditions.
Non-Stick Gaskets –
Tempest™ Original oil filters incorporate especially
lubricated synthetic rubber base gaskets made from a proprietary
compound. This helps insure proper torque during installation and
easy removal.
