Filter Testing Introduction
Downstream Concentration
Penetration, P =
Upstream Concentration
Efficiency, E = 1 - P
Interception Particles travel along streamlines and are caught because of their
size. Ratio of particle to fiber size is important.
Inertial Particles deviate from the streamlines due to inertia and impact on
the fibers. Large particles, high density, high velocity and small fibers
Impaction is most efficient.

Disadvantages of OPCs for
Determination of MMPS
Comparatively poor size resolution (high
resolution needed)
No channels below 200 nm
Some filter media (e.g. electrostatic) can have
MMPS of below 50nm
21
2007, TSI Incorporated
Monodisperse test aerosol and CPC(s)
for determination of MPPS
Biggest advantage:
Excellent coverage of the possible size
range for the MPPS.
Disadvantage: More time needed to carry
out test

3160 Calibration
Instrument uses electrical mobility which is the
standard method for checking submicron particle
sizes and CPCs which are the concentration
standard
Flows and pressure drops can be independently
verified
Field Installation is provided with new instruments
to verify performance
We provide Field Service and Service Contracts
when requested by customers

3160 Features and Benefits
Feature Benefit
Automated Fractional Efficiency test Simpler and easier than developing this system
from components
Includes computer and Windows software Familiar Windows look and feel minimizes operation
for current operating systems and training time
Flows and size controls are automatic or Doesnt require additional equipment or lots of time
simple to use to set up tests
New expanded size range up to 0.8 Provides information that previously required a
microns different tester
Fast Test Mode Adds ability to use an instrument designed for
fractional efficiency for fast quality control tests
Automatically adjusts concentration and Eliminates the need to monitor the test for
test time to get the best results within the concentrations that are higher or lower than desired
parameters you set
