Test demonstrations

  • Hydrostatic head tester: determines the filter media`s resistance to water penetration.
  • Mullen burst tester: measures the burst strength of filter media.
  • Filter test rig: used to evaluate product performance. Filter solutions tested for salt efficiency and moisture resistance, high load conditions such as high airflows and pressures.

Lab demonstrations are a part of each module training.

When Trosa or Ipoh, a visit to our filter factory is part of the course. 

A certificate of completion will be given to attendees who complete the training.

*Modules 2.1, 5.1 and 5.2 are included in the course outline upon request.


Test Demonstrations 

  • Mini Gas Turbine: a lesson on the functionality of an operating mini gas turbine.
  • Hydrostatic Head Tester: determines the filter media`s resistance to water penetration 
  • Flastsheet Pulse Unit: determines the performance of pulse filter media in long-term use.
  • Mullen Burst Tester: measures the burst strength of filter media.
  • Filter Test Rig: used to evaluate product performance. Filter solutions tested for salt efficiency and moisture resistance, high load conditions such as high airflows and pressures.
  • Camfil CamLab: a mobile laboratory used for evaluating filters under real operating conditions.
