Abstract:  This SEMASPEC establishes a test method for preparing a flow rate vs. pressure
drop curve for filters being considered for installation into a high-purity
gas distribution system. Application of this test method is expected to yield
comparable data among components tested for the purposes of qualification for
installation. This document is in development as an industry standard by
Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI). When available,
adherence to the SEMI standard is recommended.
