Classification Table

*C - Group E Filters (E10,E11,E12) cannot and shall not be leak tested for classification purposes

MPPS (Most Penetrating Particle Size) is normally in range 0.1-0.25 micron for HEPA/ULPA filters

Air Velocity* through filter media and type of filter material determine: MPPS Efficiency Pressure drop

*= Note the difference between media air velocity and filter face velocity

MPPS (Most Penetrating Particle Size) is normally in range 0.1-0.25 micron

Filters have historically been tested at various sizes 0.17 m - Soda salt test (AFNOR X44-1) 0.30 m - DOP test (Q107 or MIL282) 0.65 m - Sodium flame (BS3928)

Today MPPS is introduced (EN 1822)

Method:

The MPPS is determined at nominal flow (flat sheet media efficiency)

Filter tested (scanned) for leaks at MPPS

The readings downstream are used to calculate overall efficiency

Filter elements of Group H

Can be tested using one of three leak test methods: -

The reference scanning method EN 1822-4 The Oil Thread Leak Test (EN 1822-4:2009, Annex A) The 0.3mm 0.5mm Particle Efficiency Leak Test (EN1822-

4:2009, Annex E, for Class H13 only)

All leak tests shall be performed at the nominal/rated air flow of the test filter element.

Filter shapes creating highly turbulent air flow (eg V-bank or cylindrical filters) for which the reference scan method can not be applied, should be leak testing by either of the two alternative methods:

1. Oil Thread Leak Method (EN 1822-4:2009, Annex A) or 0.3mmmmm 0.5mmmmm2. Particle Efficiency Leak Test (EN1822-4:2009, Annex E, for Class H13 only)

For higher Classes of filters, the two alternative methods might not be sensitive enough to measure the local penetration limits.Higher Classes of filters have to be marked:-

1. Alternative leak tested, method A or

2. Alternative leak tested, method E on its label and test report

Particle counter+ high sensitivity+ size distribution+ MPPS sensitive to high

concentrations leak quantification

Photometer+ high concentrations+ leak quantifcation medium sensitivity no direct sizing (no MPPS) need high aerosol

concentration Result may depend on

aerosol distribution

Today, normally particle counters are used for factory test (EN 1822 or similar)

Better sensitivity Scanning and total efficiency at same test Various aerosols can be used Test at MPPS (EN 1822)

For In-Situ test both DPCs and Photometers can be used

Particle counter Sensitive Used where liquid aerosols are

unwanted Same instrument as in EN 1822 Normal penetration will be

measured (MPPS)

Photometer Fast quantification Less sensitive OK for check of gaskets, etc Today, basically only for

leaks.

Comparison of Particle counters/photometer result

Not same measurement technique Photometer is aerosol dependent

Comparison of Particle counters and photometer result

Two aerosol distributions The penetration curve is

measured by particle counter

Photometer result can differ depending on aerosol

ISO 14644, suggestFor filters < 99,995% (H14) photometers can be used Aerosol distribution with mass mean diameter between 0.5-0.7 m Leak designated as 0.01% For filters >99.995% particle counters should be used DOP/DEHS challenge Leaks designated as > described in EN 1822

Photometers and particle counters can be used for leak testing filters EN 1822 is now in use (2000-09-01) for factory test EN describes test method, equipment and classification of HEPA/ULPA

filters Be aware of the differences in measurement technique

(Photometer/EN1822/other tests) Communicate with customer (should filter be tested? Which test method is

required from customer? Make sure he/she understand how Camfil test) Requirements/test methods in situ at customer can be different (ex.

Safety cabinets, pharmaceutical industry)
