Inspection and Test Reports,and Labeling

DOE-STD-3025-99

For penetration and resistance testing, two Penetrometer systems have long been

authorized. Both Penetrometer systems operate using "hot" aerosol. They are:

The Q-107 for testing filters with rated airflows of 250 cfm (0.12 m3/s) and

above.

The Q-76 for testing filters with rated airflows below 250 cfm (0.12 m3/s).

Currently, a laser spectrometer analyzer system, the High Flow Alternative Test System

(HFATS), operating with "cold" aerosol, is the method of choice for testing filters with

rated airflows of >250 cfm. It is used in conjunction with the Q-107 system. Provisions

for qualifying new test methods appear in Appendix 1 to this standard.

7.2

Test Aerosols

Test aerosol materials, currently approved by DOE for FTF testing are Di-octyl Phthalate

(DOP) and Di-octyl Sebacate (DOS). Provisions for qualifying new test aerosols appear

in Appendix 2 to this standard.
