Amount of dust that the filter can capture before the pressure drop of the filter exceeds design limits

Amount of dust in the air. Usually expressed in terms of micrograms/cubic meter of air.

 Small solid particles created by the breaking up of larger particles by processes such as crushing, grinding, drilling, explosions, combustion, etc.

 The quantity of dust in the gas stream, usually expressed as micrograms of dust per cubic meter of air.

 The permeable barrier employed in the filtration process to separate the particles from the fluid stream.

 A process by which particles are separated from a fluid stream by use of a permeable barrier.

 A measure of the ability of filter media to separate out particles in the airstream. There are many different standards and methods to measure efficiency, making it almost impossible to compare the e [..]

 The weight of water vapor per unit volume, pounds per cubic foot or grams per cubic centimeter.

 The ratio of the actual partial pressure of the water vapor in a space to the saturation pressure of pure water at the same temperature.

 A unit of length, the thousandth part of I mm or the millionth of a meter (approximately 1/25,000 of an inch).
