Safety Precautions During Air Filter Testing

By Frances Russell


Compressed air purification equipment is essential to all modern production facilities; at its best, there are numerous manufacturers offering products for the filtration and purification of in-flight; compressed strainer costs cover a wide range - but initial purchase cost cannot always indicate the effectiveness of a piece of equipment. The following are factors that govern air filter testing.

Adhesives: Different glues and adhesives are chosen with no consideration to their chemical composition. These adhesives are chosen for their price, and drying time, quality of adhesion, there are several types of adhesives. Some are epoxy resins, others are hot melt adhesives, and some use cold glues and are vinyl based. Hot melt glues are extremely popular and are practically in every home.

Another thing that's not so commonly known is the fact that strainers don't work that great right off the bat when you purchase and install them. It takes some time before they're fully operational. That's because they rely on a fine coat of material build-up to settle on them. If you buy a new strainer you're going to have to wait until it gets that coating as well, which defeats the whole purpose of the process.

This makes it even more important to hire a good air strainer cleaning company. Preserving this special coating during the cleaning process is extremely important. The cleaning requires a careful approach to the as well as a lot of expertise in the field.

Filter frame: The mesh frame is made from metal, plastic or paper. This is the component I am least concerned about. However, plastics are becoming increasingly popular without regard to testing. In addition, most of the paper is treated with a moisture barrier in the fibers. These chemicals are regarded as proprietary from the paper mills.

It is generally held that there are 10 major contaminants found in compressed strainers. Nine of these are removed using filtration technology. Strainer design is based mostly on what works! In other words, development is largely empirical - the result of experiment and observation. Strainer material design and specification needs to demonstrate better than adequate retention capacity, separating ability, a stable pressure build up and low pressure loss.

And if you're satisfied with the services of the strainer cleaning company that you've chosen, you should definitely establish a longer-term relationship. By doing so, you will get the best that they can offer. Thus making the all process more efficient and reliable, moving from one company to another does not make the process reliable since the quality offered differs a great deal.

In conclusion, compressed in strainers have a wide range of applications. The selection process for the most suitable one will depend on the cost among other factors. These other factors include the contaminants to be removed, the inflight quality delivered, the operating environment, environmental impact, and the overall cost of operation over the lifetime of the product.
