    Particulate Filtration Efficiency Tester

    The Particulate Filtration Efficiency Tester is a precision device designed for testing the filtration efficiency of respiratory protective equipment such as masks and meltblown fabric, suitable for KN and KP series product evaluation. The equipment is designed in accordance with GB 2626-2019 (Respiratory protective equipment — Non-powered air-purifying particle respirator) standard. It uses an aerosol generator to produce a NaCl aerosol with a defined concentration (≤200 mg/m³, particle size 0.075±0.02 μm). A high-precision photometer measures the aerosol concentration before and after filtra...

Product Introduction 
The particulate filtration efficiency tester operates on the aerosol photometer comparison principle. A NaCl aerosol generator produces standard particles of controlled concentration, which mix with clean air to form a test aerosol. A flow meter precisely controls the gas flow rate, directing the aerosol through the test specimen at a defined velocity. A high-precision photometer measures the aerosol concentration upstream and downstream of the specimen, and the filtration efficiency is calculated from the concentration ratio. The system includes a humidifier to simulate exhaled breath humidity and a sealed chamber to maintain a clean, stable test environment.

Key Features 
Standard NaCl Aerosol Generation Produces standard NaCl aerosol with concentration ≤200 mg/m³ and particle size 0.075±0.02 μm, strictly complying with GB 2626-2019.
High-Precision Flow Control Flow rate range of 10-100 L/min with 2% accuracy, accurately simulating filtration conditions under different human breathing intensities.
Photometer Comparative Measurement Uses a high-precision photometer to measure aerosol concentration before and after filtration, calculating filtration efficiency with accuracy and reliability.
Full Standard Compliance Designed in strict accordance with GB 2626-2019, suitable for filtration efficiency testing of KN and KP series masks and meltblown fabric.
Modular Structure Composed of a particle generator, flow measurement device, concentration measurement device, humidifier, and sealed chamber; each module has clearly defined functions for easy maintenance.
Stable Testing Environment Equipped with a sealed chamber and humidifier to ensure testing is conducted in a clean, constant-humidity environment, minimizing external interference.
Intuitive and Easy Operation Clear system tubing connections with centralized parameter setting and result display; standardized operation procedures make it easy to learn.
Wide Applicability Suitable for particulate filtration efficiency testing of various masks (KN90/KN95/KN100, etc.), meltblown fabric, filter media, and other respiratory protective devices.

FAQ
1. What types of masks can be tested with this equipment?
It is suitable for filtration efficiency testing of KN series (KN90, KN95, KN100) and KP series non-powered air-purifying particle respirators, as well as meltblown fabric and other filter media.

2. Why is NaCl chosen as the test medium?
NaCl aerosol is one of the standard test media specified in GB 2626-2019, used to simulate the challenge of solid particulates to respiratory protective equipment. Its particle size of 0.075±0.02 μm is close to the most penetrating particle size, effectively evaluating the filtration performance of filter materials.

3. How should the flow rate between 10-100 L/min be selected?
Flow rate selection depends on the type of product being tested and standard test requirements. Different mask types and test items correspond to different flow conditions, as specified in GB 2626-2019 or according to product testing needs.

4. Does the equipment require regular calibration?
Yes. Periodic calibration of the flow meter and photometer is recommended to ensure measurement accuracy. The aerosol generator should also be checked regularly for particle size and concentration stability. We provide calibration guidance and technical support services.

5. How are test results read and recorded?
The equipment measures upstream and downstream concentrations via a high-precision photometer, calculating and displaying filtration efficiency. For specific data display methods and data export functions, refer to the operation manual or consult our technical staff.

6. What are the environmental requirements for the equipment?
It is recommended to use in a clean, temperature- and humidity-controlled laboratory environment to avoid external dust and airflow interference. The equipment includes a sealed chamber to isolate environmental disturbances, but a clean testing environment is still recommended.

Particulate filtration efficiency is the core indicator for evaluating the protective performance of respiratory protective equipment such as masks and meltblown fabric, directly reflecting the material's ability to filter airborne suspended particles. GB 2626-2019 is the fundamental Chinese standard for respiratory protective equipment, defining filtration efficiency ratings and test methods for KN and KP series products. Filtration efficiency testing uses a standard aerosol (such as solid NaCl particles or liquid oil particles) as a challenge medium, penetrating the specimen at a specified gas flow rate. The filtration efficiency is calculated by measuring the change in aerosol concentration before and after filtration. This test simulates the breathing filtration process when a mask is worn and is an essential testing method for factory inspection, type testing, and R&D optimization by mask and filter material manufacturers. The particulate filtration efficiency tester integrates aerosol generation, precise flow control, and concentration detection, providing a standardized, automated testing platform for quality evaluation of respiratory protective equipment. It plays a vital role in public health, occupational safety, and epidemic prevention and control.
