$USD 350
$USD 175 (Member Only)
Course Objectives:
This course is intended to provide a broad understanding of the test methodologies and techniques used in developing non-woven air filtration media and manufactured end products. Specific focus is given to a wide variety of application driven developments and covers HVAC, automotive, industrial, clean spaces and medical applications, among others.
The course will also cover elements concerning the use and abuse of published testing protocols and how they interact with global market needs. Additionally, emphasis will be given on how the data quality must be assessed and utilized for meaningful project outcomes.
1. Fundamentals of air filter testing methods
General concepts/basic objectives
Specific assessment of testing dynamics (Flow rate/velocity/permeability)
Important Basic air filtration product development steps
2. Air Filtration testing methodologies and published test protocols
Summary of global test methods
Interaction and standards development processes
Product performance criteria and characterization
3. Important terms, definitions and technical issues
4. Data quality and validation techniques
5. New developments in testing and assessing indoor air quality
