ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 52.1

Standard 52.1 reports average filtration efficiency by measuring the “spot” created after challenging the filter with atmospheric dust (dust found normally in the environment). The test uses an aerosol made with KCL that can yield inaccurate, non-repeatable comparisons among filters, manufacturers or test laboratories.

Since the test measures average efficiency over the life of the filter, initially the clean filter gives lower values than those reported. Efficiency increases as the filter begins to load up with dust until enough of the filter is clogged to decrease the amount of air that can flow through it.

Standard 52.1 does measure dust-holding capacity, which allows an owner or facility manager to compare the relative service life of similarly designed filters. The standard also measures arrestance, the percentage of test dust, by weight that a filter can capture. This is useful tool for evaluating the performance of very low efficiency filters.

Standard 52.2 is a testing procedure that evaluates the performance

of air cleaning devices as they remove specific-diameter particles.

Here, standardized dust is fed into the air cleaning device at intervals

to simulate the accumulation of particles during the filter's normal

service life. The standard describes how to generate the aerosols

required for conducting the test and establishes a method for

counting airborne particles sized between 0.30µ and 10µ. The count

of specific-size particles both upstream and downstream of the test

filter determines its efficiency. The standard also prescribes

necessary equipment requirements and describes how to report test

results. For the hospital engineer, the reporting mechanism is most

useful.
