ASTM D6650-01

1.1 This test method covers the determination of the dynamic wiping efficiency, wet particle removal ability and fabric particle contribution of nonwoven fabrics.

1.2 This test method applies to all nonwoven fabrics used in cleanrooms. For more information see Journal of the IEST.

For dynamic wiping efficiency in non-cleanrooms, refer to Test Method D 6702 Standard Test Method for Determining the Dynamic Wiping Efficiency of Nonwoven Fabrics Not Used in Cleanrooms.

1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as the standard. Within the text, the inch-pound units are shown in parentheses. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the specification.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
