Filter media test rig

Application

The TOPAS AFC 132 filter media test rig from tests flat filter media with regard to characteristic properties. The media holder enables testing of media samples with a diameter of 150 mm Fast and reliable measurements of differential pressure behavior, fractional efficiency and integral total efficiency as important parameters can be performed. The temporal stability of filter media with respect to aerosol retention can also be determined. Prior to measurement, the media samples are pretreated in a conditioning chamber by means of isopropanol.

We are happy to support you in evaluating and comparing new and established filter media on the market using precise particle measurement technology.
