Companies can spend millions of dollars on a faulty product. The testing that can be conducted before releasing a product into the market could save the company millions of dollars. A corporate research and development team may not have the facilities to test for all of the specifications that their product would have to meet. The research and development team may also not be aware of all of the standards that their product should meet.
A research and development team contracted IFTS to test their filter under different temperatures and also by adding constituents to the test fluids. The team was impressed by IFTS’ ability to use fuel icing tests and the depth of their knowledge in the testing and standards area.
The research and development team was extremely satisfied with the results of IFTS. The team’s design is now being produced in the hundreds of thousands for different divisions in the company. The group stated that IFTS tests are competitively priced and that the rigs are designed to complete almost any filtration test.
Rigorous Filter Test Equipment
IFTS uses rigorous test equipments and validation process resulting in:
Stability of operating parameters
Real world settings in a test for a more reliable product for application.
DFE varies the flow rates of the liquid to mimic the flow fatigue of a system, the temperature can also be altered.
Filtration is one of the most broadly spread operation in industrial workshops processing products is a liquid phase and on machines using a liquid as an ancillary working tool or as a source of energy.
Among other solid-liquid separation techniques, i.e. centrifugation, settling, flotation and cycloning, filtration is the most versatile one. Its possible equipments and operation principles are so different that most of problems can be solved by a filter, whatever the scope of the separation: either to recover the solid phase from a solid liquid mixture or to give the liquid a given degree of clarification or a specified suspended solid concentration.
The filtering media plays the key role in a filter. To satisfy the requirements of both the separation process and the technology, a great variety of media has been developed. Their choice is a difficult task: first all above requirements cannot always be stated or quantified what means that the user’s needs are sometimes unknown in their whole. Second the ability for use in each specific condition of each existing media can hardly be determined for technical and cost reasons.
Tests have thus to be performed in laboratory conditions to simulate as faithfully as possible actual field operating conditions so as to quantify the properties of the media in relation with the function they will have to full fill.
Each professional sector then creates its own test methods and standardization is a way of simplifying and clarifying disclaim of the media characteristics.
www.filtertesting.com is a subsite belong to IFTS, this website will focus on reporting and introducing filter testing techniques, newest testing standards developing trend, the activities that IFTS has joined and so on.
IFTS is the abbreviation of Institute of Filtration and Techniques of Separation which was founded in 1981, also is the abbreviation of the International Filter Testing Services. Our headquarters is located in Agen France. We have the world classic filtration & separation products testing lab, we focus on Solid-Liquid Separation (SLS) products testing, we are a totally independent body and are not answerable to any external industrial organization.
We have over 200 customers and over 45 members around the world,we have opened for over 30 filter manufactures’ visiting, these numbers are keep increasing. Some of the customers or members are competitors to each other, but we fully guarantee customers’ confidentiality! We are an ISO 17025 certificated lab since 1988.
Besides testing service, we also could build the world classic filter performance testing equipments. From the industrial filters to auto filters to drinking water filters to bacteria filters, we know how to test all liquid filters. Our experienced experts and scientists will satisfy your various requirements for all kinds of liquid filters testing. We also attended some ISO standards drafting and validation works for ISO committee,such as ISO 16332, ISO 16232 and so on…
