requirements of GB/T 10586.
6.2.1.3 Testing methods
Remove the samples from the original packaging and process them in the
following order:
a) Place it at (38 ± 2.5) °C and (85 ± 5)% relative humidity for (24 ± 1) h;
b) Place it in a dry environment at (70 ± 3) °C for (24 ± 1) h;
c) Store it at (-30 ± 3) °C for (24 ± 1) h.
The pretreatment method used shall avoid thermal shock; allow the sample
temperature to return to room temperature for at least 4 hours before
subsequent pretreatment or testing.
6.2.2 Mechanical strength pretreatment
6.2.2.1 Number of samples and requirements
It is only applicable to replaceable filter elements. 2 untreated samples; or
quantities required by other testing methods.
6.2.2.2 Testing equipment
The vibration test device is as shown in Figure 1. The device consists of a steel
box, a steel platform, a cam, a drive, a control system on which the sample is
placed; the steel box is fixed on a support that can be moved vertically. The
steel box is lifted by 20 mm through the rotation of the cam. Then let it fall on a
steel platform by its own weight, to generate a vibration. The mass of the steel
box shall be greater than 10 kg. The mass of the steel platform shall be at least
10 times the mass of the steel box. The cam’s rotation frequency is (100 ± 5)
r/min.
6.2.2.3 Test methods
Take the sample out of the package. The non-encapsulated filter element shall
be the smallest sales package.
Place the sample laterally in the steel box; the placement method shall ensure
that the samples will not contact each other during the test. It allows for 6 mm
horizontal movement interval and free vertical movement distance.
The duration of vibration testing is 20 min.
After the test is over, perform the follow-up tests.
