Talk:Ultra-low particulate air

Disambiguation Page
It looks like there should be a disambiguation page for "ULPA" linking both to this article ULPA and to the article Uniform Limited Partnership Act. Alfrogbet (talk) 21:42, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

 * On second thought, because there are just two, can put a link at the top of each to the other.


 * Also, there is a "United Lightning Protection Association" (http://www.ulpa.org) that doesn't yet have a Wikipedia page. Reify-tech (talk) 17:55, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Moved to Ultra-low particulate air
I moved the article from "Ultra-low penetration air" to "Ultra-low particulate air" because the first term doesn't make much sense, and Googling it shows just echoes of this Wikipedia article. ULPA filters are a higher-performance version of High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters. Reify-tech (talk) 17:55, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

3.2 EN 1822 classification
An ULPA filter is a filter with greater than 99.999% efficiency for particles in the 0.1–0.2 μm size range. Under the EN 1822 classification, that would include the U16 and U17 filter types.

If you can locate the original 3.2 EN 1822 classification, please provide it below.

Table below is easier to read in the Wikipedia edit view.
