As the only laboratory in the UK to hold UKAS accreditation to ISO 17025:2017 for filter testing, Particle Technology is the recognisable choice for assessing the essential performance characteristics of filters. We specialise in filter performance testing across a range of applications, including HVAC units, gas turbines, internal combustion engines and compressors.
Air filters play a crucial role in HVAC systems, ensuring the quality of indoor air. Our air filtration testing process covers key parameters, such as:
Your results will be presented in a formal filter test report, which also includes the official filter classification:
Our test facility includes state-of-the-art equipment with the capability to test air filters beyond the requirements of EN 779 and ISO 16890. Our capabilities include:
Filter testing evaluates the performance of air filters by measuring their efficiency, dust-holding capacity, pressure drop, and other critical parameters under controlled conditions. It helps ensure your filters meet required standards and function effectively in their intended environment.
We can design and manufacture bespoke filter housings tailored to your specific needs.
Efficient inlet air cleaning is vital for internal combustion engines and compressors to prevent breakdowns. Our experience in filtration testing, adhering to ISO 5011:2020, ensures accurate evaluations with a range of materials and calibrated dust feeders.
For both large or small air filters without available housing, we design and manufacture bespoke filter housings to meet your specifications.

We are the only UK laboratory with UKAS accreditation to ISO 17025:2017 for filter testing. Depending on the application, we test filters according to:
We test filters used in:
Our tests assess:
Yes. If your filter does not have a compatible housing, we can design and manufacture bespoke filter housings tailored to your dimensions and requirements.
Absolutely. We use a bespoke duct insert system to test cone or cylinder elements, in accordance with EN 779 and ISO 16890:2016. We can simulate extreme conditions with differential pressures up to 12 kPa and increased dust feed rates for robust performance testing.
Effective filtration reduces downtime, extends equipment life, and ensures compliance with air quality and industry standards.
Whether you’re in HVAC, aerospace, energy, or manufacturing, validating your filters protects both your equipment and your reputation.
We regularly present and exhibit at industry-leading events, including the Filtration Society Conference and the Particulate System Analysis Conference. Stay updated on our upcoming event schedule to connect with our technical team in person.
