ABSTRACT: This
article has been directed to Environment Protection Technology with the purpose
of providing a new instrument designed and developed to measure filtration
efficiency through the relationship between clean cloth fabric structural
parameters, dust parameters, and test measuring variables. Fabric samples used
throughout the present study were woven cotton 100%, polyester 100% and cotton/polyester
50/50%. The warp count: 30/2 for all fabric samples, the weft count is 9/1;
12/1; and 20/1. The weave of satin, basket,
and twill is 3/1 with four different picks/cm to produce the fabrics with the same cover
factor. For dust separation fabrics range in weight from “300 - 450
g/m2” with
an air permeability of “100 - 300 l/d m2·min” at “196.2
Pa” (20 mm WG) as specified in DIN 53887. Air permeability through fabrics
depends entirely on the sieving percent of the surface of the fabric, which is
partly the pores and partly the permeability through the yarns, which are the
basic elements of a fabric. The results showed that dust capturing depends
entirely on air permeability, which is related to fabric weave structure and
fabric material at specified testing and measuring variables.
