ISO 5011, Second Edition Air Filter or Intake Kit Test Report The test data presented in the following report represents the restriction of airflow, efficiency and dust loading capacity. The filters tested were procured from various distributors or provided by customers. The tests were performed in accordance with ISO 5011. The following were measured in accordance with the test: (1) Pressure Drop for Clean Element, Initial Efficiency and Dust Loading Capacity. The Flow Rate used to conduct the Dust Loading and Capacity test(s) is listed under the Average Environmental Conditions and Test Specifications. PTI ISO Course Test Dust was utilized and the particle data sheet for the batch is attached. The test sequence begins with measuring the pressure drop of a clean filter as a function of the airflow rate which is measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM). Subsequently, the cumulative efficiency and dust loading capacity are measured. The termination point when measuring for capacity is shown at the bottom of the report under the heading Termination ^P. The results of the tests are recorded in the top table and charts shown on the next page. The filters are inspected before and after the tests are performed. The Efficiency represents the amount of dust (contaminants) that was stopped by the filter during each test. The Capacity measures the dust holding capability of the filter. During the test, the filter is loaded with dust until it reaches a terminal pressure drop increase of 10 inches of water (28”H2O for Heavy Duty Vehicles) across the filter element (please refer to the Average Environmental Conditions and Test Specifications at the bottom of the next page to verify the pressure drop utilized on this particular test). The maximum inches of H2O that our test equipment can measure is 50.1 inches of H2O. The Line Graph shows the pressure drop as a function of the airflow rate for the clean filter(s). The computer controlled test equipment initiates the test at close to zero (0) cubic feet per minute (CFM) and then increases the CFM gradually until the CFM termination point is reached. During the test, the restriction of the filter is measured in inches of water (“H2O) as it relates to the air flow rate (CFM). Visual inspections of filters are performed to insure against dust leakage and manufacturing flaws. The Bar Graph illustrates the cumulative efficiency for the filter(s) tested. Definition of Terms & Test Protocol Restriction Restriction measures how difficult it is for the air to get through the filter and is measured in inches of H2O. Instead of referring to restriction, the industry uses "air flow" to describe the effect of restriction. They say for example, that a High Performance Filter "flows better" than the OEM paper filter. On a line graph, the lower the restriction of a filter the better the air flow. Efficiency Efficiency is measured in % and is the amount of dirt/contaminants that the filter stops from going into the engine. Capacity Capacity is the total amount of contaminants/dirt the filter will hold before reaching its termination point. The termination point is a predefined restriction point that is used as the cut-off point when measuring how much dirt a filter will hold. For typical vehicles, 10”H2O is used at the termination point. For heavy duty trucks, this number is 28”H2O. Note: Testing was conducted based on the ISO 5011 testing standard; however, variances from the actual test procedures may exist. The intent of the testing is to show comparative test results at a specific point in time between various products that are intended for similar use. Tests are conducted under a climate-controlled environment; however, changes in temperature and humidity between tests may occur which could alter the actual test results. Test results may or may not represent how the product will perform in conditions outside of the laboratory. Upon request, S&B will update test data if a competitor improves or makes a material change to its product. The decision to re-test a competitor’s is completely up to the discretion of S&B Filters.
