Description:
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Air Pollution Control Technology (APCT) Verification Center evaluates the performance of baghouse filtration products used primarily to control PM2.5 emissions. This verification statement summarizes the test results for W.L. Gore & Assoc. filter fabric 1.3650. All tests were performed in accordance with the APCT Generic Verification Protocol for Baghouse Filtration Products. The protocol includes requirements for quality management, quality assurance, procedures for product selection, auditing of the test laboratories and test reporting format. Outlet particle concentrations from a test fabric were measured with an impactor equipped with appropriate substrates to filter and measure PM2.5 within the dust flow. The particle size distribution in the air was determined both upstream and downstream of the test filter fabric to provide accurate results for penetration through the test filter of PM2.5.
