H13

H13 filters are selected where airborne particle control directly affects product quality, process stability, and regulatory compliance.

They represent the practical balance between filtration efficiency, airflow performance, and system design complexity in most cleanroom environments.

Because of their proven performance and broad applicability, H13 filters are considered the reference HEPA grade for many electronics, pharmaceutical, and precision manufacturing cleanrooms.

Typical Applications

H13 HEPA filters are used in a wide range of cleanroom environments where strict air cleanliness must be maintained.

Common applications include:

• Electronics and semiconductor cleanrooms

• Pharmaceutical manufacturing and packaging areas

• Medical device production facilities

• Battery manufacturing cleanrooms

• Research and laboratory cleanrooms

In these applications, H13 filters support stable cleanroom classification and consistent environmental control.

Performance Highlights

H13 filters are engineered to deliver high-efficiency filtration suitable for continuous cleanroom operation.

Key performance characteristics include:

• HEPA filtration tested according to EN 1822

• High overall and local filtration efficiency

• Mandatory individual leak testing

• Stable pressure drop suitable for cleanroom airflow design

• Reliable performance throughout service life

These characteristics make H13 filters the preferred choice for most classified cleanroom environments.

FAQ

Why is H13 the most commonly used HEPA grade in cleanrooms?

H13 filters provide a high level of particle removal while maintaining manageable airflow resistance, making them suitable for a wide range of cleanroom classifications and applications.

Are H13 filters required for ISO-classified cleanrooms?

H13 filters are commonly used in ISO-classified cleanrooms. The required HEPA grade depends on the cleanroom class, process sensitivity, and regulatory requirements.

Can H13 filters be used in fan filter units?

Yes. H13 filters are widely used in fan filter units and ceiling-mounted terminal housings in cleanroom systems.

Do H13 HEPA filters require leak testing?

Yes. Under EN 1822, H13 filters must undergo individual leak testing to verify filter integrity and performance.
