Overview (TRAU0PCER - Two - day course)
Using a combination of theory and hands-on instruction, you will learn the key procedures of filter integrity testing, how to interpret print-outs from automatic filter integrity testers and troubleshoot filter integrity test processes. This two-day course covers all current filter integrity tests, and bubble point, diffusive flow and water intrusion (e.g. HydroCorr™) testing for all liquid and gas filtration applications.
What will you be able to do after attending this course?
- Understand the fundamentals of bubble point, diffusive flow and water intrusion tests and the operating principles of automatic filter integrity test instruments. • Interpret the content of an automatic filter integrity test print-out.
- Decide when and how to test filters in-line.
- Make appropriate decision when a filter integrity test fails.
- Optimize your wetting procedures.
