Zetron Instrument focuses on providing customized solutions for precision analysis and monitoring.
The compressed air quality monitor is a comprehensive instrument that integrates multiple detection functions to comprehensively evaluate the quality of compressed air. It can simultaneously detect multiple parameters such as moisture, particulate matter, oil vapor, gas temperature, and pressure in compressed air. It adopts a modular design, and each detection module can work independently or in coordination to improve detection flexibility and accuracy. The outer shell is made of high - strength, corrosion - resistant materials to ensure stable operation in harsh industrial environments. Its advantage lies in its comprehensive detection functions, providing all - around compressed air quality information; intuitive data display for users to quickly understand the situation; and data storage and transmission functions for convenient data management and analysis. It is widely used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, electronics, and automobile manufacturing.
1. HEPA Filtration Integrity
HEPA filter integrity is the primary mechanical control maintaining ISO classification. A pinhole leak exceeding 0.01% of upstream aerosol concentration constitutes filter failure under ISO 14644-3, regardless of the filter's installation age or supplier certificate.
2. Temperature & Humidity Control
Temperature and relative humidity are directly impact HEPA filter performance, microbial growth risk, electrostatic discharge (ESD), and product stability. EU GMP Annex 1 (2022) requires temperature and humidity to be continuously monitored and within validated specification before any classified manufacturing operation begins.
3. Particle Count Verification
Particle count verification is the primary method of confirming and maintaining ISO classification. ISO 21501-4 specifies the instrument standard for particle counters used in classification testing.
