F318-06 Standard Practice for Sampling Airborne Particulate Contamination in Cleanrooms for Handling Aerospace Fluids (Redline)
Published By | Publication Date | Number of Pages |
ASTM | 2006 | 3 |
This practice establishes the standard procedures (including apparatus, reagents, and materials to be used) for taking samples of airborne particulate matter in a specific area in the aerospace industry, commonly called the cleanroom, where aerospace fluids are handled. This practiced is based on the impingement of particles on a filter membrane using a vacuum technique. The number of air samples required in a given area will depend on the geometric floor area, the disturbance to the uninterrupted airflow pattern, and the room volume.
