Prove your protective filtration media performs before it reaches the field

Bubble point, mean flow pore and distribution on CBRN filter media, respirator cartridges and barrier textiles.

Model: MPA-100 Micropore · Industry: Defense

Technology principle

Protective filtration is specified against conditions nobody can reproduce on demand. Pore structure is the measurable property that predicts whether a medium will hold its rated protection — and the first property to shift when a supplier changes resin, loft or calendering without telling you. Measuring it on each incoming lot is the only point in the chain where a substitution is cheap to catch.

Applications

  • CBRN and NBC filter media
  • Respirator cartridge media
  • Barrier and ballistic substrates
  • Incoming inspection on imports

Key capabilities

  • Lightweight, compact and ergonomically engineered, the M19 Micropore Analyzer (MPA-100) pairs a 15" capacitive touchscreen with enhanced pressure- and flow-control hardware, so operators run a full defense test sequence with minimal training and markedly shorter cycle times. Available in aluminum or stainless-steel variants, it ships with real-time remote support, USB connectivity and remote-control automation. Domestic manufacturing in India and the USA keeps maintenance cost and downtime low, and a 2-year extended warranty is available.
  • Modern, low-training user interface
  • Lightweight and portable chassis
  • IP65 rated · GAMP 5 compliant
  • Three secure user levels — Operator, Supervisor and Administrator
  • Versatile connectivity — USB, Ethernet and Wireless LAN
  • Flexible reporting — built-in thermal printer or network / PDF / CSV export

Frequently asked questions

Can the instrument test an assembled respirator cartridge rather than flat media?

Yes, with a chamber built for that geometry. Chamber design is configured per customer, and an intact cartridge is one of the standard custom geometries. Send us the part and we will confirm before you order.

We are asked for data traceable to a calibration certificate. Is that supported?

The instrument holds auto-calibration records alongside results, and calibration certificates are issued at installation and at each scheduled maintenance. For the formal qualification package, ask about the documentation set when you enquire.
