The rated pore size is for >99.99% collection efficiency for<br />
that size particle <strong>and</strong> greater. All of these filters have >99%<br />
collection efficiency for particles as small as 0.3 um. The<br />
stated pressure drop is for a 40 mm collection diameter with<br />
an air flow rate of 2 ACFM <strong>and</strong> barometric pressure of<br />
23.1"Hg. The FWHM is for Po-214 at 7.68 MeV <strong>and</strong> was<br />
determined using a 25 mm collection diameter <strong>and</strong> a 25 mm<br />
diameter diffused junction detector with a spacing of 4 mm.<br />
The pressure drop will be higher <strong>and</strong> the FWHM will be<br />
broader at higher barometric pressures.<br />
