Introducing the SC-FT-1406DU: The Optimal ULPA Filter Media Tester for Factory Quality Control

ULPA filters, such as U15, U16, and U17, demand incredibly high efficiency, capturing particles as small as 0.1μm with up to 99.999999% efficiency. For filter material manufacturers, achieving and verifying this level of performance poses significant challenges.

The TSI 3160, a well-known tester on the market, uses advanced technology such as a Condensation Particle Counter (CPC) and particle size spectrometer. While highly accurate, it is also highly expensive, with a price tag exceeding $300,000. Furthermore, the complex testing process, extended testing times, and high operating costs make it more suitable for research institutions rather than for quality control in production plants.

Conversely, some testers equipped with high-level particle counters may initially seem like a viable alternative. However, their durability and stability often fall short, leading to frequent breakdowns. Manufacturers often need to send engineers on-site for repairs and adjustments, which can be especially problematic for users located far from the manufacturer. In such cases, relying on these test machines becomes virtually impossible, disrupting production and compromising quality control.

The SC-FT-1406DU addresses these challenges, offering a solution tailored for ULPA filter media manufacturers focused on quality control. This specialized device features a 0.1μm particle counter, with options for counters made in the USA or China. It is built on the robust SC-FT-1406D testing system, which boasts over 800 users worldwide, many of whom conduct more than 200,000 tests annually. This high-frequency usage underscores the system's stability and reliability.

The SC-FT-1406DU introduces further optimizations in both the aerosol generators and particle counters, ensuring it meets the stringent requirements for U-grade filter materials. Extensively tested for durability, stability, and reliability, this instrument is capable of achieving filter efficiency tests of up to 8 nines (99.999999%), making it an ideal choice for factory quality control.

With the SC-FT-1406DU, manufacturers can confidently and efficiently test their ULPA filter media, ensuring the highest levels of performance without the complexities and costs associated with other testing systems.
