Clean Air Services: Speed & Volume
Air velocity and air volume, collectively referred to as airflow measurement, are important components in qualifying a clean area. Proper airflow helps to permanently balance the environmental conditions in the clean area. As part of our GMP services, our experts take precise measurements and provide you with meaningful reports and actionable data for your air velocity and air volume.
The goal of cleanroom qualification is to demonstrate the performance of a space from a process perspective. This information, along with other variables (temperature, relative humidity, differential air pressure, smoke surveys, etc.), provides important information on where to place continuous monitoring locations. It is important to identify and test the most critical and vulnerable locations in the process to maintain control of the environment. Air velocity and air volume measurements are critical measurements required to effectively qualify a cleanroom or area and create an environmental monitoring plan based on a risk analysis. (according to ISO 14644 and Annex 1 ) Our highly trained PMS technicians perform these tests and use the information collected as one part of an overall picture that characterizes the environmental risks to the clean area.
The most effective way to test and verify these components is with airflow measuring devices called anemometers and balometers. To test these critical elements, PMS uses state-of-the-art instruments that are fully calibrated by our in-house SCS 0118 certified laboratory. Audit-ready calibration certificates are provided with your final report.
