For food and drug manufacturers, leak detection refers to the on-site leak detection of high efficiency filters and their systems after installation, mainly to check small pinholes and other damages in the filter material, such as frame seals, gasket seals and leaky seams on the filter frame. The purpose of leak detection is to check the tightness of the HEPA filter and its connection with the installation frame, to detect any defects in the HEPA filter itself and in the installation, and to take corresponding remedial measures to ensure the cleanliness of the area. Whether there is a leak. The purpose of dust generation is to detect leaks without dust generation, as the concentration of dust particles upstream of the HEPA filter is low and it is difficult to detect leaks with a particle counter.
What are the standards for leak detection of HEPA filters?
