Product Information:

The HEPA Filter Element Quality Control Test System is designed for quality control of small HEPA filter elements in production. It complies with EN 1822-4 and ISO 29463-4, Appendix E (“Efficiency and leakage test for particle size 0.3–0.5 µm”). The system is suitable for filter elements that cannot be scanned due to geometric design, ensuring overall filter efficiency is sufficient for production QC.

Test Principle

Overall Efficiency Testing:

 DEHS aerosol is generated upstream; particle concentrations are measured upstream and downstream.

 Upstream concentration is measured with an optical particle counter and adjusted via the dilution system.

 Downstream concentration is measured similarly; overall efficiency is calculated and compared to nominal target.

Efficiency Comparison:

 Overall measured efficiency is compared with target efficiency to quickly classify “pass” or “fail.”

Differential Pressure Measurement:

 Measures pressure drop across the filter element, generating pressure curves and dust loading capacity data to ensure stable performance at different flow rates.
