Camfil APC testing services help improve dust collection

Camfil APC offers a variety of dust testing services to help manufacturers understand the characteristics of dusts produced during their operation and make informed decisions about equipment, filter cartridges, and engineered controls to mitigate dust hazards.

These services include particle size analysis to determine the filtration efficiency required to meet emissions standards; video microscopy to identify dust shape and characteristics for selecting the proper equipment for a specific application; pycnometry to identify the dust’s true specific gravity, which helps to determine the efficiency of cyclonic-type dust collectors; abrasion testing to determine the optimal design of dust-handling components like valves, inlets, and ductwork; and terminal velocity testing to determine the air velocity required to lift the dust, which helps in selecting the correct filter housing size.
