The SC-16890 is a configurable test platform for general ventilation filters evaluated according to ISO 16890. It supports fractional-efficiency measurement, airflow resistance, filter conditioning and dust-loading evaluation through dedicated functional modules.
The main efficiency test duct, IPA conditioning cabinet and dust-loading equipment operate as separate modules within the overall laboratory workflow. SCPUR software guides test procedures, records measurement data and performs the required efficiency and classification calculations.
| Airflow | 300–5400 m³/h |
|---|---|
| ΔP range | 0–800 Pa |

| Fractional Efficiency and Resistance | ISO 16890-2 measures upstream and downstream particle concentrations across the required particle-size range together with filter airflow resistance. |
| Filter Conditioning | ISO 16890-4 uses a controlled IPA-vapour procedure to reduce the influence of removable electrostatic charge and determine minimum fractional test efficiency. It should not be described as completely eliminating all electrostatic effects or simulating a fixed period of field ageing. |
| Dust Loading | ISO 16890-3 evaluates gravimetric efficiency and airflow resistance versus captured test-dust mass. Dust loading provides separate performance data and does not determine the ISO ePM classification. |
