Filter leak testing with an LSAPC

Abstract

This article is the third of a short series of extracts from Bill Whyte’s new book Cleanroom Testing and Monitoring. Annex D, Filter leak testing with an LSAPC, is reproduced here with the kind permission of the author, Bill Whyte, the publisher, Euromed Communications, and the owner of the copyright, the Cleanroom Testing and Certification Board – International (CTCB-I)*. The objective in publishing these extracts is to give readers a flavour of the content and depth of the book which is recommended as a comprehensive textbook and an essential reference for cleanroom managers, cleanroom test engineers, cleanroom service engineers, cleanroom designers and specifiers and anybody who is concerned with cleanrooms. High efficiency filters are normally tested by the photometer method given in ISO 14644-3: 2019 and described in Chapter 8 of the book (as reproduced in CACR47). The LSAPC method, also given in ISO 14644-3: 2019 can be difficult to understand. Partly because of this, and partly because of the additional steps that are required, the method is not used, or is used incorrectly. Annex D was written with the object of giving a clearer and shorter explanation, to make the method less difficult to use.
