5 Test requirements
5.1 General
Two test aerosols are used for measurement of filter penetration:
a) Sodium Chloride, using the equipment specified in Clause 6;
b) Paraffin Oil, using the equipment specified in Clause 7.
The test aerosol is fed into the test chamber, where the particle filtering device under test is mounted in
a leaktight manner on a suitable adaptor. Aerosol is passed through the device and the aerosol
concentration is measured immediately before and after the particle filtering device by the photometer.
Laboratories should give consideration to the following factors.
— Test chamber should be designed to minimize air velocity variations across the surface of the filter
under test.
— Localized high air velocity (“jets”) can result in arti
