Synthetic Blood Penetration Testing - Gester GT-RA01

PLEASE NOTE THAT SELECTING A DATE ON THE RESERVATION CALENDAR SECURES YOU A SPOT IN OUR TESTING QUEUE. ONCE WE RECEIVE YOUR SAMPLES, OUR TESTING TEAM WILL NOTIFY YOU OF YOUR TESTING DATE. For further information, please contact Mark Keene at mark_keene@uml.edu. Synthetic blood penetration testing determines the resistance of medical protective masks to the penetration of a certain volume synthetic blood in a controlled time under different test pressures that simulates the human body's average blood pressure of 10.6kPa, 16kPa, and 21.3kPa; which corresponds to spraying speeds of 450cm/s, 550cm/s, 635cm/s respectively. The instrument can also be used to determine the blood penetration resistance of other coating materials. The sample fixing device is convex to simulate the use state of a mask and has a test target area without damaging the sample. Associated standards are ASTM F2100, ASTM F1862 and others.
