What is ISO 16890-3- Air filters for general ventilation about?
ISO 16890 discusses air filters for general ventilation. ISO 16890-3 is the third part of the ISO 16890 multi-series and discusses the gravimetric efficiency and the airflow resistance versus the mass of test dust captured.
ISO 16890-3 specifies the test equipment and the test methods used for measuring the gravimetric efficiency and resistance to airflow of air filters for general ventilation. The test method described in ISO 16890-3 of ISO 16890 is applicable for airflow rates between 0,25 m3/s (900 m3/h, 530 ft3/min) and 1,5 m3/s (5 400 m3/h, 3 178 ft3/min), referring to a test rig with a nominal face area of 610 mm × 610 mm (24 in × 24 in). It is intended for use in conjunction with ISO 16890-1, ISO 16890-2, and ISO 16890-4.
Who is ISO 16890-3 - Air filters for general ventilation for?
ISO 16890-3 on air filters for general ventilation is useful for:
- Air Filter manufacturers
- Quality control personnel
- Air filter suppliers
Why should you use ISO 16890-3- Air filters for general ventilation?
Air filters for general ventilation are widely used in heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning applications of buildings. In this application, air filters significantly influence the indoor air quality and, hence, the health of people, by reducing the concentration of particulate matter.
The ISO 16890 series describes the equipment, materials, technical specifications, requirements, qualifications, and procedures to produce the laboratory performance data and efficiency classification based upon the measured fractional efficiency converted into a particulate matter efficiency (ePM) reporting system.
ISO 16890-3 provides you with a test method to determine the gravimetric efficiency and the airflow resistance versus the mass of test dust captured from air filters. ISO 16890-3 guides you with the general test device requirements and qualification of the test rig and apparatus. ISO 16890-3 guides you with the test sequence dust-loading procedure and reporting results. ISO 16890-3 helps you in improving the efficiency of your air filters for general ventilation.
