Most Advanced Particulate Filtration Efficiency Analyzer for Space Research

Test particulate filtration efficiency of cabin filters and life-support media with the M19 PFE-50. Repeatable data to ASTM F2299, EN 14683 and EN 1822.

Model: PFE-50 · Industry: Space Research

Technology principle

The M19 Particulate Filtration Efficiency Analyzer (PFE-50) measures particulate filtration efficiency across controlled particle challenges for materials used across space materials and life-support systems. Configured for lightweight materials, cabin filtration and mission-critical porous structures, it delivers repeatable, audit-ready data so space research teams can qualify media, accelerate development and defend specification decisions. Referenced to ASTM F2299, EN 14683, EN 1822, the platform combines precise hardware control with electronic records suitable for regulated and industrial quality systems.

Applications

  • Spacecraft insulation media
  • Life-support filtration
  • Thermal protection materials
  • Cabin air filtration
  • Propellant-system seals
  • Research coupons

Key capabilities

  • Lightweight, compact and ergonomically engineered, the M19 Particulate Filtration Efficiency Analyzer (PFE-50) pairs a 15" capacitive touchscreen with enhanced pressure- and flow-control hardware, so operators run a full space research test sequence with minimal training and shorter cycle times. Available in aluminum or stainless-steel variants, it ships with real-time remote support, USB connectivity and remote-control automation. Domestic manufacturing in India and the USA keeps maintenance cost and downtime low, and a 2-year extended warranty is available.

Frequently asked questions

What does the PFE-50 measure for Space Research applications?

It characterizes particulate filtration efficiency across controlled particle challenges, giving space research teams quantitative data for media design, supplier qualification and lot acceptance.

Which standards apply in Space Research workflows?

Typical references include ASTM F2299, EN 14683, EN 1822. Method templates can be aligned to your internal SOP and customer specifications.

How does the software support audits and quality systems?

Electronic signatures, tamper-proof audit trails, role-based access and PDF/CSV export support regulated and industrial quality workflows, including LIMS hand-off.

Can the instrument be customised for our materials?

Yes — sample holders, pressure/flow ranges and report templates can be configured for Space Research-specific media and acceptance criteria.

What are the advantages of indigenous manufacturing?

Make-in-India / USA build delivers faster service, spare-parts availability, lower cost of ownership and easier customisation — with extended warranty options.
