Vacuum Cleaner Filtration Test System
Category：Filter Cartridge Filtration Tester
Introduction
Vacuum Cleaner Filters for emission characterisation of vacuum cleaners (EN 60312)
For emission tests the suction air is prepared with a dust concentration of 550 mg/m³ and passed directly into the hose of the vac.
For dust retaining tests the suction air is prepared with a dust concentration of 100 mg/m³ in the inlet channel (mixing tube) described in the standard.
Applications
Determination of particle emission of the vacuum cleaner into the exhaust air
Determination of the dust retaining capacity of the vacuum cleaner
Standard
The Vacuum Cleaner Filters is designed for tests on vacuum cleaners (vac) for household or small business use according to the standard EN 60312.
