General Flashcards
Air Standard Condition
20 degrees Celcius at 1013 hPa (1013 mbar)
Restriction and Differential Pressure Test
determine the restriction/differential pressure/ pressure loss across the unit under test which will result when air si passed through under predetermined conditions.
Efficiency Test
determine the retention capabilities of the unit under test
3 Types of efficiency tests (1)
full-life efficiency
3 Types of efficiency tests (2)
incremental efficiency
3 Types of efficiency tests (3)
initial efficiency
full-life efficiency
determined when the terminal condition is reached
incremental efficiency
determined when eg. 10%, 25% and 50% of the terminating differential pressure minus the initial differential pressure are reached
initial efficiency
determined after the addition of 20g of contaminant or the number of grams numerically equivalent to 6 times the air flow in cubic metres per minute, whichever is bigger
Filter Element Pressure Collapse Test
determine the ability of an air filter element to withstand a specified differential pressure and/or to determine the differential at which collapse occurs
Secondary Element Blocking Test
determines the increase in restriction/differential pressure and mass of a secondary element, caused by the dust that has passed through the primary element
