Abstract

See full text

A method correlates average fiber diameter with performance for a complex filtration media comprising a matrix of fibers having a fibrillated component with a diameter so small (e.g., less than 0.01 microns), that cannot be physically measured with accuracy. The method manufactures a selected matrix, derives the number average diameter of the fibers according to prescribed steps, some of which do not require actual physical measurements, and observes a performance characteristic. The method repeats the foregoing steps for different matrixes, yielding different number average diameters. The method expresses change in the selected performance characteristic as a function of change in number average diameter of the matrices.
