LFT3000

To ensure filter quality, ISO 29463-1 requires that all HEPA /ULPA filters with an efficiency of 99.95% or higher (ISO 35H/H13) be tested for the following:

• local efficiency according to ISO 29463-4

• overall efficiency according to ISO 29463-5

The LFT 3000 combines the requirements from the ISO standard with simple operations and a fast test run. It operates computer-controlled with appropriate software to perform the test and to detect possible leakage points easily and quickly.

In addition to the local filter efficiency, the overall efficiency is also part of the test report.

Description

To ensure filter quality, ISO 29463-1 requires that all HEPA /ULPA filters with an efficiency of 99.95% or higher (ISO

35H/H13) be tested for the following:

• local efficiency according to ISO 29463-4

• overall efficiency according to ISO 29463-5

The LFT 3000 combines the requirements from the ISO standard with simple operations and a fast test run. It operates computer-controlled with appropriate software to perform the test and to detect possible leakage points easily and quickly.

In addition to the local filter efficiency, the overall efficiency is also part of the test report.

Automatic leakage scantest for HEPA/ULPA Filter

The test system consists of the following components:

• Supply air duct with volume flow measurement and raw gas sampling

• Horizontal filter holder (adapter for different filter sizes)

• Aerosol generator and dilution on the raw gas side

• Scanning system with sampling and integrated particle counters

• Control and evaluation unit including software on Windows surface

First, the intake air flows through the built-in filter at a defined volume flow. During this process, the particle counter

measures the particle concentration and size on the raw gas side. One advantage of the LFT system is that the

test parameters for the test object are automatically calculated from the specifications of the filter class and the associated volume flow.

The settings and the sequence are stored and can be recalled at any time for repeat measurements.

Subsequently, the pressure drop is recorded by scanning over the filter surface.

The scan system, which is installed on the outlet side, uses the particle counter to measure the local emission and size of the particles in the clean gas.

From this, it then calculates the local filter efficiency. The result: leaks are detected quickly and easily.
