Floor Count: Air samples taken by a particle counter at a height of 32″ to 40″ above the floor (sample times and air volume typically are 1 minute and 1 CFM).
Velocity: The speed of the air coming out of a filter (FPM feet per minute) assures even airflow through a room and gives you air change ratios.
Static Pressure:
Face Scan: Testing the filter by passing a particle sample probe across its face looking for small pinhole leaks.
Laminarty: Airflow patterns within a room.
Parallelism: Indicates how straight the airflow is over a given distance.
Recovery: How quickly the room or area will clean itself up and return to normal.
Temperature, Humidity, Light, and Sound: The rated performance of each item at specified locations (typically 4′-10′ on center).
