Abstract

See full text

The invention pertains to a method and device for testing the permeability of membrane filters by submitting a wetted membrane filter on its inlet side to a predetermined testing gas pressure within a first closed system and by measuring pressure variation over time within the closed system. The object of the method of the invention is a sensitive testing method permitting permeability, and thus pore size, of a membrane filter to be determined exclusively by measurements performed on the inlet side of the membrane filter. Such measurement is performed by measuring a pressure differential with respect to a reference pressure, or by measuring the quantity of gas per unit of time flowing with respect to a reference pressure system, or else by measuring the pressure differential twice and draining, during the second measurement, a predetermined quantity of gas from the space being tested.
