Parker 932648 Q Hydraulic Filter

Manufacturer: Parker Hannifin Part Number: 932648 (this record's title carries a Q suffix, i.e. 932648Q) Type: hydraulic and lube filter element WHAT PARKER'S CURRENT CATALOGUE SHOWS: a full-text search of Parker's "Hydraulic and Lube Filtration Products" catalogue, the Catalog 2300 family, finds that part number 932648 DOES NOT APPEAR. Within that catalogue the 9326xx element family is listed as 932610 through 932697, carrying Q and A suffixes, and 932648 is absent from the sequence. On that evidence 932648 is a superseded, obsolete or otherwise non-current Parker element number rather than a current catalogue line. ELEMENT NUMBER SUFFIXES: Parker lists the 9326xx elements in matched pairs with Q and A suffixes, the suffix denoting the media and build variant of an otherwise identical element envelope. Parker's catalogue references its media codes separately, for example 02Q, 10Q and 20Q media for microglass grades and 03C, 10C and 25C for cellulose grades. The catalogue does not publish a plain-language decode of the trailing element-number suffix, so the exact media grade this Q denotes is not stated here. NO PARKER-PUBLISHED SPECIFICATION IS AVAILABLE FOR THIS ELEMENT. The following are therefore NOT stated here: micron rating and beta ratio, collapse pressure rating, element dimensions (outside diameter, inside diameter, length), media type, seal material, and the filter housings the element fits. WHY NO FIGURES ARE GIVEN - IMPORTANT: micron ratings, beta ratios and collapse pressures for "932648" are widely quoted online, but those figures are published by aftermarket filter makers describing their own replacement element built to interchange with the Parker number. They are not Parker's published specification for a Parker element and they have deliberately NOT been adopted here. Using them would be recording a competitor's product data as the manufacturer's. HOW TO RESOLVE IT: the element should be measured, and the number taken to Parker Hannifin or an authorised Parker filtration distributor for a supersession cross-reference to a current part number, from which the genuine Parker media and collapse ratings can be read. Spec Basis: Parker Hannifin "Hydraulic and Lube Filtration Products" catalogue, Catalog 2300 family (Cat2300-GR1 and Catalog 2300-HFF) - full-text search of the element part number listings and the media code tables. The absence of 932648 from the 9326xx sequence is a direct finding from those documents. No aftermarket replacement-element specification has been used.
