Interlaboratory comparison of particle filtration efficiency testing equipment
Timothy A. Sipkens, Ruth Perez Calderon, Richard G. Green +2
This work presents the results of two interlaboratory comparisons of particle filtration efficiency measurements performed by a network of laboratories across Canada and Australia.…
Filtration and breathability of nonwoven fabrics used in washable masks
Thomas W. Bement, Ania Mitros, Rebecca Lau +6
This study explores nonwoven and woven fabrics to improve upon the performance of the widespread all-cotton mask, and examines the effect of layering, machine washing and drying on…
Comparison of measurement systems for assessing number- and mass-based particle filtration efficiency
Timothy A. Sipkens, Joel C. Corbin, Triantafillos Koukoulas +8
The particle filtration efficiency (PFE) of a respirator or face mask is one of its key properties. While the physics of particle filtration results in the PFE being size-dependent…
Systematic experimental comparison of particle filtration efficiency test methods for commercial respirators and face masks
Joel C. Corbin, Greg J. Smallwood, Ian Leroux +7
Respirators, medical masks, and barrier face coverings all filter airborne particles using similar physical principles. However, they are tested for certification using a variety o…
