Air filters are devices that use filtration, adhesion or charge trapping to remove airborne particles, gases contaminants and microorganisms. They can be used everywhere in our lives. They are used in clean rooms for the production of medical masks, electronic products, semiconductors, etc. And those closely related to our lives are filters for air conditioning, filters for purifiers, fresh air units for HVAC systems, primary return air conditioning units and so on. How to grade and select these filters to ensure our health?

In the air, in addition to suspended particulates, there is a category of harmful substances - chemical gases, which are often invisible and untouchable, but more harmful to people, even fatal. They exist in the form of gaseous molecules, which cannot be removed by ordinary filters, but require molecular adsorption, such as activated carbon and molecular sieve porous media.

Air filtration materials such as meltblown fabric and electrostatic cotton are electrically charged by means of water electret and electric electret in order to obtain high efficiency. Materials such as glass fibre and PTFE, and filters made of them, can also become electrically charged for various reasons. These electrostatic charges are not completely reliable and will decay over time and with the environment changes, thus affecting the filtration efficiency of the masks and filters. Therefore, the effect of static electricity on the filtration efficiency of filter materials, masks and filters needs to be examined.

This paper interprets the relevant standards, hoping to help understand the relevant domestic and international regulations.

In order to facilitate you to get the performance test method of vacuum cleaner and cleaning robots (automatic/robotic floor cleaning machines, autonomous robotic vacuum), we summarize the standard number for your reference. IEC/EN 60335-2-69, IEC/EN 60312, ASTM F1977-04, IEC/ASTM 62885-7-2020, IEC 63327:2021

The product model SC-FT-1406D and SC-FT-1802D are the best sales Automatic Filter Tester before 2021, nearly 600 customers around the world have the tester. It is used for efficiency (PFE) and resistance test of filter media, mask (respirator) and filter (filter elements).
Scince Purge brand automatic filter tester has been upgraded since December 2021. The model SC-FT-1406D is upgraded to SC-FT-1406D-Plus, and the model SC-FT-1802D is upgraded to SC-FT-1802D-Plus. In fact, we make product improvements all the way according to customers’ feedbacks.
Recently, some new customers who have seen or used model D series come to inquire about the difference between the old and new models.
This article will list the differences in configuration and the improvements made by the new model.

ISO 23328-1:2008 Breathing System Filters for Anaesthetic and Respiratory Use- Part 1: Salt-test method to assess filtration performance

This part of ISO 23328 gives a method of test for assessing the filtration performance of breathing system filters (BSF).

In the test, the BSF is challenged with sodium chloride particles of the most penetrating size range, 0.1~0.3μm.

Air filters are silent sufferers – no one thinks about them because they usually don’t break or make noise. Yet, they’re an important part of your HVAC system – not only helping keep your equipment clean and free of debris, but also helping to keep indoor air clean by capturing particles like dust,
