Filter Media Test Rig

The Filter Media Test Rig is designed for the characterization of cleanable filter media, enabling measurements according to ISO 11057. The system is suitable for dust loading tests, fractional and gravimetric efficiency determination, and quality assurance of filter media. Its modular and flexible design allows for customization and extension for small-scale filter tests along general standards.
Applications
(1) Dust loading tests according to ISO 11057.
(2) Small-scale filter tests based on other general standards.
(3) Development and optimization of filter media.
(4) Quality assurance during production and incoming inspection.
Standards
(1) ISO 11057 – Air filter media – Dust loading test method for cleanable media.
Features
(1) Long-term stable dosage and dispersion of test dust Pural NF.
(2) Flexible design facilitates quick modifications and future extensions.
(3) Compatible with a wide variety of test aerosols (solid particles, liquid droplets, atmospheric dust).
(4) Integration of Topas instruments ensures optimum performance and cost-effectiveness.
(5) Fully computer-controlled operation via user-friendly PAFWin software.
Principle
The filter medium is mounted in a dedicated holder and exposed to a controlled flow of test aerosol. The aerosol generator (e.g., ATM 220) provides stable particle or droplet dispersion. A laser aerosol spectrometer (e.g., LAP 323) measures particle concentration upstream and downstream to determine efficiency, while the differential pressure across the medium is monitored to assess dust loading and pressure drop.
