Class 0 certified particle absolute final filtration
TÜV Rheinland Certification
Ensuring quality and compliance in compressed air systems
In the realm of industrial processes, maintaining high standards of quality and compliance is paramount. The TÜV Rheinland certification shows the thorough testing and checks that guarantee the reliability and efficiency of our filtration solutions. By using the combination of a DFp+ prefilter and MFs+ final filter it is possible to reach a class 0 level of particle filtration. The certificate clearly indicates what particle count levels are achievable with this.
Overview of the certification
The TÜV Rheinland certification, issued by TÜV Rheinland Energy & Environment GmbH, validates the performance of the Atlas Copco MFs+ filter according to ISO 8573-1 for solid particles. It pertains to contaminants and purity classes. This certification is crucial for industries that need high-quality compressed air. This includes pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and electronics manufacturing
Testing and validation process
The certification process involved a series of meticulous tests conducted on the Atlas Copco MFs+ filter. The tests were designed to measure the particle count in the outlet air stream of the filter, ensuring that it meets the stringent requirements set by ISO 8573-4, which outlines the test methods for measuring particles.
Key Findings: measured downstream particles
The key finding from the tests was that the measured particle count was below following criteria in the compressed air stream.
0.1µm < d ≤ 0.5µm |
0.5µm < d ≤ 1µm |
1µm < d ≤ 5µm |
≤ 600 |
≤ 25 |
0 |
The particle count indicates that the Atlas Copco MFs+ filter efficiencly removes particles from the air, ensuring that the compressed air can meet the highest standards of air quality.
Certification and compliance
TÜV Rheinland certified that the air quality from the Atlas Copco DFp+ followed by the MFs+ with 0.4µm electropolished internal surface is "Class 0" from particle perspective. This is based on test results and follows ISO 8573-4. This classification shows the highest level of air purity. This makes the MFs+ filter ideal for industrial applications that need very clean compressed air.
Conclusion: Class 0 for particle retention with a MFs+ filter
The TÜV Rheinland certification for the Atlas Copco MFs+ filter shows how important testing is. It helps ensure the quality and reliability of industrial drying systems. By following international standards, Atlas Copco shows its commitment to offering high-quality solutions for different industries.
This certification boosts the credibility of the MFs+ filter. It also assures customers of its great performance and compliance with global standards.
