Abstract / scope
This document establishes and specifies uniform test procedures, conditions, equipment and a performance report to permit the direct laboratory performance comparison of air cleaners.
The basic performance characteristics of greatest interest are airflow restriction or differential pressure, dust collection efficiency, dust capacity and oil carry-over on oil bath air cleaners. This test code therefore deals with the measurement of these parameters.
This document is applicable to air cleaners used on internal combustion engines and compressors generally used in automotive and industrial applications.
