1 Scope

This document specifies the standard test method to assess the performance of dust collectors utilizing integrated fans (compact type dust collector), at the time of manufacture, after being used for a certain period.

This document adopts the black box concept that the dust collector to be tested is operated with the specification determined by the manufacturer except test dust condition and the pulse interval during ageing.

This document is applicable to small dust collectors utilizing cartridge filters including molded filters or bag filters with pulse cleaning equipment as filtration media for dry dust collection. Mist and fumes collectors are excluded from this test.

The performance obtained from this test does not guarantee the performance of the system. This document is not intended to offer the superiority or inferiority of performance between dust collectors, but specifies a standard test method that provides users with performance under simulated conditions of use for a certain duration.
