Topics Of Discussion • DOP Efficiency Tester • Q-107 • Dual Laser • Leak/scan Testing • Particle Counters • High Efficiency Air Filters • Fire Resistance • Summary
DOP Efficiency Tester (Q-107) • Developed 1940s • Guaranteed Performance • Efficiency • Pressure Drop • Upstream Aerosol • Hot DOP (Dioctlyphthalate) • A Non Destructive Test
Dual Laser Efficiency • Developed Late 1970’s • Non Destructive Test • Counts Size & Individual Particles • Filter Pressure Drop
Leak/Scan Testing • Non Destructive Test • Locate Gross Leaks • Photometer or Particle Counter • Manual • Autoscan • Cleanroom Applications
Autoscan • A Non-destructive Test to Locate Leaks • Particle Counter Method • Removes Operator Variability
Particle Counters • Monitor Dust/Particles • Determines Particle Size • Scan Test • Incandescent Light • .3 Micron • Laser Light • .07 Microns
Higher Efficiency Air Filters • HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) • 1940s • 99/97% @ .3 Micron • ULPA (Ultra Low Penetration Air) • 1970s • 99.999% @ MPPS • SULPA (Super Ultra Low Penetration Air) • 1980s • 99.9999% @ MPPS
Fire Resistance • UL 900 (Fire Retardant) • Class 1 (Minimum Smoke & Flame) • Class 2 (Moderate Smoke & Flame) • UL 586 (Performance) Exposure To Heat & Flame
Summary • DOP Tester • Q-107 Penetrometer/Dual Laser • Cold DOP Testing • Pin Hole Leaks • Particle Counters • Particle Size • High Efficiency Air Filters • HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) • ULPA (Ultra Low Penetration Air) • SULPA (Super Ultra Low Penetration Air) • Fire Resistance • UL 900 • UL 586
