Bacterial Filtration Efficiency (BFE): Under specified conditions, the efficiency of the tested sample to filter out bacteria-containing particles, expressed as a percentage.
Tested Samples: Masks, textiles, fiber raw materials, and other physical barriers that prevent the direct penetration of pathogenic microorganisms, body fluids, particulate matter, etc.
A controlled concentration of bacterial aerosol is generated upstream of the test sample. After entering the aerosol chamber and mixing evenly, the bacterial aerosol flows into two parallel gas path sampling systems. One path includes the test sample at the sampler's upper end, while the other serves as a positive control without the sample. By calculating the ratio between the positive control value and the sample test value as the leak rate, the filtration efficiency is determined.
