Medical face mask material performance is based on testing for bacterial filtration efficiency, differential pressure, sub-micron particulate filtration efficiency, resistance to penetration by synthetic blood, and flammability.
ASTM F2100-This specification covers the classifications, performance requirements, and test methods for the materials used in the construction of medical face masks that are used in health care services such as surgery and patient care.
The Test instruments for conforming to this test standard include as following:
Bacterial filtration efficiency tester:quickly and accurately measure the filtration efficiency of filtration protection equipment and materials .
Differential pressure Tester:used for the determination of gas exchange pressure difference of medical surgical masks and can also be used to determine the gas exchange pressure difference of other textile materials
sub-micron particulate filtration efficiency Tester:used for performance testing of filter elements, disposable masks, filter media, etc. for respiratory protection products. It's suitable for safety testing of such products, basic filtration performance evaluation and development guidance for new products.
Resistance to penetration by synthetic blood Tester:used to determine the resistance of medical protective masks to penetration by synthetic blood at different test pressures,and can also be used to determine the resistance to blood penetration of other coating materials.
flammability tester:used to test the flame retardant performance of medical masks. The combustion performance of the mask is measured through a head mold wearing a mask de-vice to contact with the flame at a certain linear speed.
