Filter Testing for Highly Efficient Respirators P100/FFP3/P3

Mar 15 2022 Choose Your Session! Online

Respirator standards for highly efficient respiratory filters and cartridges such as 42 CFR part 84 and EN 143/149 require that all of these be tested before use.Respirator standards for highly efficient respiratory filters and cartridges such as 42 CFR part 84 and EN 143/149 require that all of these be tested before use. Speed of testing is critical for high throughput in the production line. Even more, it is desired that the tester gives the same results for penetration as the tester used in the quality control lab to ensure accuracy and reliability.

From the Quality Control Lab to the Production Line

In our 30-minutes webinar, we will present test results for penetration and pressure drop measurements with the increasing speed of testing and discuss factors that – if improved – can lower the test time. We will also show data from the characterization of our new, optimized Automated Filter Tester 8150 for the production line that was recently awarded the Innovative Product of the Year award from Waterloo Filtration Institute. Further emphasis will be given to comparison test results with equipment used for certification, the TSI Automated Filter Tester 8130A.
