Finding ASTM F1862 equipment through Air / Water / Vapour Permeability

The Face Mask Synthetic Blood Penetration Tester (TNG1044) and Synthetic Blood Penetration Tester (TNG1049) are designed to meet the requirements of ASTM F1862, which evaluates the resistance of face masks to synthetic blood penetration.

Compliance with ASTM F1862

ASTM F1862 is a standard test method used to assess the ability of face masks to resist penetration by synthetic blood under simulated conditions. This standard is critical for ensuring that respiratory protection equipment provides adequate barrier protection against potential biological hazards. The test involves spraying synthetic blood onto the mask material and observing whether it penetrates the surface. The instruments used for this testing must accurately simulate the conditions described in the standard to ensure reliable and repeatable results.

Specifications of the Face Mask Synthetic Blood Penetration Tester (TNG1044)

The Face Mask Synthetic Blood Penetration Tester (TNG1044) is specifically designed for testing face masks as per ASTM F1862. It features a blood spraying distance of (300 ± 10) mm, which aligns with the standard's requirement for simulating the distance from which blood might be projected during a medical emergency. Additionally, the nozzle inner diameter is 0.84 mm, ensuring that the synthetic blood is delivered in a consistent and controlled manner, which is essential for accurate testing. These specifications support the standard by replicating real-world conditions and ensuring that the test results are both reliable and comparable across different testing environments.

Specifications of the Synthetic Blood Penetration Tester (TNG1049)

The Synthetic Blood Penetration Tester (TNG1049) is another instrument used for testing the resistance of materials to synthetic blood penetration. Although the specifications for this model are not fully detailed, its design and functionality are aligned with the requirements of ASTM F1862. The instrument is intended for use in a variety of applications, including the testing of face masks and other protective gear. Its design ensures that the testing process is standardized and repeatable, which is crucial for meeting the requirements of the ASTM F1862 standard.
