ACPH (Air Changes Per Hour) Test

ACPH measures the number of times the air in a room is replaced with clean air per hour. This test ensures a controlled environment meets cleanliness and safety standards. ACPH is crucial in industries like pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and cleanrooms. It helps maintain product quality and personnel safety.

Purpose

The ACPH test measures the number of times the air in a room or area is replaced with clean air per hour. This test ensures that the controlled environment meets the required standards for cleanliness and safety.

How it's done:

  • Airflow measurement: Measuring airflow rates and velocities in the room or area.
  • Room volume calculation: Calculating the volume of the room or area.
  • ACPH calculation: Calculating the air change rate based on airflow and room volume.

Benefits:

  • Ensures cleanliness: Maintains a clean environment by controlling airborne contaminants.
  • Meets regulatory standards: Complies with standards and guidelines for controlled environments.
  • Protects products and personnel: Prevents contamination and ensures a safe working environment.
  • Optimizes HVAC system performance: Ensures the HVAC system operates efficiently and effectively.

Who performs the test:

The ACPH test is typically performed by trained professionals, such as:

  • Validation engineers
  • HVAC specialists
  • Cleanroom experts

Applications:

  • Cleanrooms: Ensuring ACPH meets the required standards for cleanroom classification.
  • Pharmaceuticals: Maintaining controlled environments for product manufacturing and processing.
  • Biotechnology: Protecting sensitive biological materials from contamination.
  • Laboratories: Maintaining controlled environments for research and testing.

By performing ACPH tests, facilities can ensure that their controlled environments meet the required standards for cleanliness, safety, and regulatory compliance.
