Summary of face mask tests for ASTM2100:
- Bacterial or Viral Filtration Efficiency (BFE / VFE)
- Differential pressure
- The Delta P test is performed to determine the breathability of the masks by measuring the differential air pressure on either side of the test article using a manometer at a constant flow rate of 8 L / min.
- flammability test
- Particle filtration efficiency: Latex particle difficulty
- Synthetic blood fluid penetration resistance for face masks
Additional tests to consider for surgical face masks:
