Filter Testing Webinars

Filter Testing for Highly Efficient Respirators P100/FFP3/P3

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. In this webinar, we 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.

Filtration Basics - Physics, Instrumentation, and Applications

This webinar is about filtration fundamentals and how filter testers work.

Experimental Tools for Virus Aerosol Research

This webinar will follow a hypothetical virus from host to target, and describe research questions that can be asked at various points in the virus’ journey (for example, droplet characterization, droplet transport, virus viability, and transmission prevention).

Do It Yourself: Maintain your Filter Tester's Performance

During this webinar you will learn about the methods used to verify system performance, routine maintenance steps that you can perform and the options for service on these testers.
