ASTM F2100 FAQ: instruments, ranges and method scope
The TNG1047, TNG1062, TNG1044, and TNG1049 instruments are designed to meet the requirements of ASTM F2100 by providing precise and repeatable testing for bacterial filtration efficiency, flammability, and synthetic blood penetration.
How Does the TNG1047 Support ASTM F2100 Testing? The TNG1047, known as the Masks Bacterial Filtration Efficiency Tester, is specifically designed for air, water, and vapour permeability testing. It supports ASTM F2100 by ensuring accurate measurement of bacterial filtration efficiency. The sample flow rate of A and B is set at 28.3L/min, which aligns with the standard's requirement for consistent airflow during testing. This ensures reliable results for bacterial filtration efficiency.
What Specifications Does the TNG1062 Offer for Flammability Testing? The TNG1062, or the 45 Degree Flammability Tester, is used for flammability testing in accordance with ASTM F2100. It provides a time display and accuracy of 0 ~ 999.9 s, 0.1 s, ensuring precise measurement of ignition time. The ignition time is specified as (1 ± 0.05) s, which meets the standard's requirement for consistent and repeatable flammability testing. These specifications ensure accurate and reliable results for flammability assessment.
How Does the TNG1044 Ensure Synthetic Blood Penetration Testing? The TNG1044, known as the Face Mask Synthetic Blood Penetration Tester, is designed for synthetic blood penetration testing as required by ASTM F2100. It features a blood spraying distance of (300 ± 10) mm, ensuring the test conditions are consistent and repeatable. The nozzle inner diameter is 0.84 mm, which is critical for accurate simulation of liquid penetration. These specifications support the standard's requirement for reliable synthetic blood penetration testing.
What Are the Key Features of the TNG1049 for Permeability Testing? The TNG1049, or the Synthetic Blood Penetration Tester, is another instrument used for air, water, and vapour permeability testing. While its specifications are not fully detailed, it is designed to complement other instruments like the TNG1044 in providing comprehensive testing for ASTM F2100 compliance. The absence of detailed specifications does not detract from its role in supporting the standard's requirements for permeability testing.
Editorial note. This application note summarises the published scope of the standard and our documented model data. Configuration requirements vary between standard editions, and instruments support a method only with the appropriate fixtures and accessories. Please confirm the required configuration against the applicable edition of the standard before ordering; conformity of a given test result also depends on the specimen and the procedure followed.
