Zkušební metody pro posuzování vlastností filtračních materiálů a zařízení pro čištění vzduchu od plynných příměsí pro všeobecné větrání - Část 1: Filtrační média pro čištění vzduchu od plynných příměsí

ČSN EN ISO 10121-1

This part of ISO 10121 aims to provide an objective laboratory test method, a suggested apparatus, normative test sections and normative tests for evaluation of three different solid gas-phase air cleaning media (GPACM) or GPACM configurations for use in gas-phase air cleaning devices intended for general filtration applications. This part of ISO 10121 is specifically intended for challenge testing and not for general material evaluation or pore system characterization. The three different types of GPACM identified in this part of ISO 10121 are GPACM-LF (particles of different shape and size intended for e.g. Loose Fill applications), GPACM-FL (FLat sheet fabric intended for e.g. flat one layer, pleated or bag type devices) and GPACM-TS (three dimensional structures that are many times thicker than flat sheet and e.g. used as finished elements in a device). The tests are conducted in an air stream and the
GPACM configurations are challenged with test gases under steady-state conditions. Since elevated gas challenge concentrations (relative to general ventilation applications) are used, test data should be used to compare GPACM within the same configuration and not for the purpose of predicting performance in a real situation. It is also not implied that different GPACM configurations can be directly compared. The primary intention is to be able to compare like GPACM configurations to like, not between GPACM configurations. Testing of complete devices is described in ISO 10121-2.
