TEST METHOD FOR DETERMINING PARTICLE CONTRIBUTION BY
MASS FLOW CONTROLLERS
This test method was technically approved by the Global Gases Committee and is the direct responsibility of
the North American Gases Committee. Current edition approved by the North American Regional Standards
Committee on July 27, 2003. Initially available at www.semi.org October 2003; to be published November
2003. Originally published September 1997.
1 Purpose
1.1 The purpose of this test is to measure particle
contribution by mass flow controllers (MFCs) in high-
purity gas systems.
2 Scope
2.1 This document describes a test method that yields
statistically significant comparisons of particle
contribution among mass flow controllers under test
conditions.
NOTICE: This standard does not purport to address
safety issues, if any, associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the users of this standard to establish
appropriate safety and health practices and determine
the applicability of regulatory or other limitations prior
to use.
3 Limitations
3.1 This document is not intended as a method for
monitoring in situ particulate performance once a
particular MFC has been tested.
3.2 The test medium is limited to nitrogen. Actual
performance under normal operating conditions may
differ.
3.3 The accuracy of the data generated by this method
is limited to the accuracy of the particle measuring
instruments used.
3.4 This test method is intended for use by operators
who understand the use of the apparatus at a level
equivalent to one year of experience.
3.5 This test method should not be expected to yield
comparable results from one test set up to another, due
to the limitations of current particle counting
technology.
3.6 Results may be compromised by the methods used
to construct the apparatus.
