Title: Experience in the quality-assurance testing of HEPA filters

Abstract

The DOE HEPA filter quality-assurance test program was initiated in 1960 to ensure the supply of adequate filters for environmental control applications in DOE operations. The program has played a significant role in the development and improvement of HEPA filters, and has more than paid for itself. However, the receipt of large numbers of filters which require repair or waiver of specification requirements, even as recent as 1980 and 1981, indicates that there are problems in the HEPA filter manufacturing industry. It is clear that DOE users are receiving the cream of the crop of HEPA filters, but that other users who do not avail themselves of the DOE testing service are receiving filters of lesser quality.
