Medical face masks are tested against synthetic blood because real blood is hazardous to handle and variable in composition. The Mask Blood Penetration Tester sprays a controlled volume of synthetic blood at the mask surface under pressures that correspond to human blood pressure, then the operator checks whether any liquid has passed through to the inner side. This Mask Blood Penetration Tester is built for mask manufacturers, PPE testing laboratories, and quality inspection departments that need ASTM F2100, ISO 22609, and EN 14683 compliance data without building a custom spray rig.

Key Benefits: Repeatable Blood Barrier Data Without Custom Fixtures

Standards-Matched Spray Velocities

The Mask Blood Penetration Tester delivers spray speeds of 450 cm/s, 550 cm/s, and 635 cm/s, corresponding to the 10.6 kPa, 16 kPa, and 21.3 kPa pressures specified in ASTM F2100 and ISO 22609. You select the pressure level your standard requires, and the instrument reproduces it without manual adjustment of a hand-built nozzle.

Convex Sample Holder That Mimics Real Mask Use

A flat sample holder does not represent how a mask sits on a face. The convex fixing device holds the mask in a curved, in-use geometry and leaves the target area intact for spray exposure. The synthetic blood distributes across the target zone rather than running off a flat surface.

Target Plate Removes High-Pressure Edge Effects

Spray streams have a high-pressure edge that can skew penetration results. The target plate blocks that edge portion and allows only the steady-state flow to reach the sample. This increases the accuracy and repeatability of the liquid velocity that actually contacts the mask surface.

Compact Benchtop Footprint for Quality Control Labs

At 35 kg and powered by a standard AC 220V supply, the unit fits on a laboratory bench without a dedicated test room. Mask manufacturers can place it in incoming material inspection or finished goods testing without restructuring the lab layout.

Solving the Problems That Slow Mask Qualification Down

Struggling to reproduce the same spray pressure across test runs?
The constant pressure spray device holds the selected velocity at 450, 550, or 635 cm/s. You do not need to adjust a manual regulator and guess whether the pressure matches the standard.

Concerned that a flat sample holder is giving unrealistic results?
The convex fixing device holds the mask in a curved geometry that approximates actual use. The target area stays intact, and the synthetic blood distributes across the zone the way it would on a worn mask.

Tired of variable results from spray edge effects?
The target plate blocks the high-pressure periphery and lets only the steady-state core reach the sample. The velocity that contacts the mask is the velocity you set, not a blend of core and edge flow.

Need test data that maps to ASTM F2100 or ISO 22609 review?
The spray speeds and pressure equivalents follow the standard values. The sample geometry and target plate design support repeatable penetration checks, so your records reference a controlled method rather than a bench improvisation.
