Challenges in Predicting the Filtration Performance of a Novel Sewn Mask: Scale-up from Filter Holder to Mannequin Measurements by Audrey J. Dang, Benjamin M. Kumfer, J. Tyler Bertroche, Jane Olson Glidden, Christopher R. Oxford, Udayabhanu Jammalamadaka, Mary Ruppert-Stroescu, Alexander R. Scott, Jason A. Morris, Connie Gan, Jesse Hu, Bradley King, David I. A. Dhanraj, Shruti Choudhary, Pratim Biswas, Richard L. Axelbaum, Kathleen W. Meacham, Brent J. Williams

“…Since filtration efficiency depends on particle diameter and air face velocity, the relevance of material filtration or prototype fit data depends on test conditions. We investigate whether characterizing a material in a filter holder at a range of face velocities enabled precise prediction of the filtration performance of a novel sewn mask design. …”
