Automated Filter Tester 8130A
The Automated Filter Tester 8130A is most advanced solution for testing respirator filters, disposable face masks, and filter media with unmatched precision. Built on the legacy of the industry-leading 8130 model, the 8130A offers improved sensitivity and resolution, now capable of testing filtration efficiency up to 99.9999% with oil aerosols. Ideal for quality control and compliance with international standards (42 CFR 84, EN 143, GB2626, ISO 23328-1), the unit enables high-throughput, automated, and repeatable testing in demanding production environments. Its dual aerosol capability (salt and oil), serviceable photometers, and customizable operation sequences make it the gold standard in filter testing.
