TSI’s Automated Filter Testers have been used in quality control and manufacturing for more than 35 years. The model 8130A is used by the leading filter and filter media manufacturers, test laboratories, and government agencies around the world due to its proven performance, durability and reliability.
The model 8150 is an evolution of the 8130A, that has been optimized for demanding in-line production testing applications, giving you faster measurement and cycle times for high-throughput.
It incorporates two simultaneously measuring photometers - upstream and downstream of the filter - to eliminate measurement uncertainties due to any change in aerosol concentration. The 8150 also utilizes an innovative concept for aerosol delivery that reduces the number of valves and improves uptime. Even though the 8150 is compact with a very small footprint, sometimes versatile solutions are needed for especially tight spaces: the photometer box can be split from the base unit. The 8150 operates through a PLC driven interface (with Modbus TCP) which offers high flexibilty and reliability in your measurements. The 8150 contains a comprehensive set of internal diagnostics to provide you with complete confidence of your filter efficiency measurements and minimize downtime.
