FILTER TESTING EQUIPMENT

TSI automated filter testers (AFTs) are designed for filter testing efficiencies of media and a variety of air filters, including high and very high-efficiency filters, respiratory filters, cartridges and protective garments. Our filter testers can determine the efficiency using submicron poly- and monodisperse oil and/or sodium chloride aerosol. Additionally, these filter testers are used to comply with various testing standards and regulations around the globe.

 

TSI AFTs for filter testing have proven track records of durability, reliability, andminimal maintenance. Models 8127 and 8130 are designed to be integrated into high volume production lines or can be used asstand-alone testers for loading or rapid quality control testing. Both testers can assess efficiencies up to 99.999% (five 9’s). For more efficient filters, Models 3160 and 3140 determine efficiencies upto 99.999999% (eight 9’s). Model 3160 combines an Electrostatic Classifier with dual Condensation Particle Counters (CPCs) to measure most penetrating particle size (MPPS) between 15 to 800 nm using monodisperse particles. Model 3140 features a polydisperse oil aerosol generator and CPCs making it an ideal choice for quality control testing of high efficiency filters.

 

Additionally, all the filter testers are backed by TSI’s commitmentto provide superior customer support and service.

NEW TSI AUTOMATED FILTER TEST SOLUTION FOR EN 143 — The TSI Automated Filter Testers 8127 & 8130 were designed for the American test method. NIOSH uses these testers for certification measurements and therefore many filter manufacturers supplying to the American market use them for their quality control as well as for the development of new filter media. We thought out a way to modify these testers to give EN 143 equivalent test results. In November 2007, a measurement campaign was run at BGIA (accredited German respirator filter certification laboratory at Sankt Augustin). TSI PARTICLE INSTRUMENTS OFFERS QUALITYGUARD™ SERVICE AGREEMENTS — TSI DELIVERS IN TIME OF NEED — June 11, 2009 -  the World Health Organization, (WHO), announced that the world is now at the start of the 2009 influenza pandemic. The Influenza virus A(H1N1) is contagious, spreading easily from one person to another, and from one country to another. As of today, nearly 30,000 confirmed cases have been reported in 74 countries.TSI LAUNCHES NEW LASER AEROSOL SPECTROMETER MODEL 3340 — May 29,2009- TSI Incorporated is proud to announce the launch of the 3340 Laser Aerosol Spectrometer. The Model 3340 is a high resolution multi-purpose airborne particle sizer that can measure particles from 0.09 to 7.5 microns at concentrations up to 18,000 particle/cm3. Complete size distributions are measured in less than a second with up to 100 user configurable channels of data. This instrument features an on-board PC and is suitable for many applications including Filter Testing, Indoor Air Quality Studies, Atmospheric Research and Monitoring, and Inhalation Toxicology and Exposure Monitoring. TSI INC RECEIVES ISO RECERTIFICATION WITH ZERO NONCONFORMANCE ISSUES — April 27, 2011 - TSI Incorporated is pleased to announce the ISO 9001:2008 Standard recertification of its Shoreview, Minnesota facility.  Spanning three and a half days, the in-depth ISO audit performed by BSI reviewed the quality management system in great detail.  In addition to achieving recertification, TSI proudly reports that zero nonconformance findings were issued.
