Filter Testing
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, from HVAC units, gas turbines, internal combustion engines and compressors.
Why Particle Technology?
With decades of expertise and advanced testing methods, Particle Technology ensures your filters perform at their best. We use precise techniques to deliver reliable, actionable results that optimise filter efficiency, durability, and safety. Trust us to meet the highest industry standards and provide you with the insights you need.
We're Here To Help
Our test facility includes state-of-the-art equipment with the capability to test air filters beyond the requirements of EN 779:2012 and ISO 16890:2016. We have:
- A powerful 35 kW fan generating up to 17,000 Pa of pressure
- Oil and salt aerosol generators for precise filter efficiency determination
- Particle counting using PALAS Welas 3000 with a measurable range of 0.2 µm to 100 µm
- TOPAS TDC 584 cabinet for IPA vapour discharge test
- TOPAS SAG 440 dust feeder for varied dust concentrations
What Is Filter Testing?
Filter testing is the process of evaluating the performance of filtration systems to ensure they meet specified standards and effectively remove particles from air, liquids, or gases. It involves a range of techniques designed to measure key factors such as filtration efficiency, capacity, pressure drop, and particle retention. At Particle Technology, we use advanced methods like gravimetric analysis, optical microscopy, and aerosol testing to provide accurate, reliable data that helps optimise your filters' performance and ensure they meet regulatory and safety requirements
