High efficiency particulate air. refers to a filtering system capable of trapping and retaining at least 99.97 percent of all monodispersed particles 0.3 m in diameter or larger.

see high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter.

High Efficient Particulate Air- a filter that removes 99.97% of particles larger than 5 microns from the air. Useful for removing lead or asbestos particles from the air.

High Efficiency Particulate Accumulation. A HEPA filter is one which captures dust within its internal filter. The collection rate of a HEPA filter is high initially, until the filter becomes clogged. HEPA filters were originally intended for use in operating theatres so they have very small pore filters. These quickly become clogged by the larger particulate matter in a home environment and frequent filter replacement is necessary to maintain high efficiency collection.

Highly Efficient Particulate Air Filter

High Efficiency Particle Accumulation. The critical filter in Data Clean's environmental vacuums. The HEPA filter traps 99.997% of dust particles larger than 0.3 microns.

an acronym for High Energy Particulate Arresting

High-efficiency particulate air filter that helps reduce allergens and irritants in the air.

HEPA stands for High Efficiency Particulate Air and the term is used to describe filters which have the capability of trapping extremely small particles, including those less than 1 micron in diameter. This represents an extremely high filtration capability. This level of filtration can be very helpful for those managing asthma or allergies. One of the best strategies is to keep away from allergens; this level of filtration can help you to do that.

High Efficiency Particulate Air Filter has an efficiency of 99.97% efficiency for particles of 0.3 microns. Biological Safety Cabinets filter air through one of more sets of HEPA filters.

Commonly used abbreviation for high efficiency particulate air filters; encompasses specifications and testing requirements set for air filters by the U.S. Department of Energy. ( www.eh.doe.gov/hepa)

High-efficiency particulate air—e.g., HEPA filter or HEPA vacuum—that filters asbestos fibers.

Acronym that stands for High-Efficiency Particulate Air and for High-Efficiency Particulate Arrestor. See the entire definition of HEPA

igh nergy articulate ir Filter designed to remove at least 99.97% of the dust, pollen, mold, bacteria, and airborne particles, 0.3 micrometers in diameter, from the air. If the particle is bigger, or smaller, the HEPA is more efficient at removing the harmful particles from the air. The result is cleaner, healthier air to breathe.

High Efficiency Particulate Absolute – a filter which removes from air 99.97% or more monodisperse dioctyl phthalate (DOP) particles having a mean diameter of 0.3 microns.

High efficiency particulate arresting filter, capable of collecting 99.8% of air particles.

High efficiency particulate arrestance (filters).

High Efficiency Particulate Air. A filter designed to remove 99.97% of airborne particles that are at least 0.3 microns in size out of the air passing through the filter. This includes household dust, pollen and tobacco smoke.

High Efficiency Particulate Air. (EPA, 2001)

(High Efficiency Particulate Air) Filter A specialized mechanical filter capable of removing 99.97% of particulates 0.3 microns in diameter.

Stands for High Efficiency Particulate Air. HEPA filters can capture 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. Can also capture 95-99% of particles below 0.3 microns. HEPA filters were originally designed to capture and remove microscopic particles such as radioactive dust in atomic plants. HEPA filters are a mainstay in areas that require clean air such as hospitals, clean rooms, and high-tech manufacturing plants.

The most efficient type of air-purifying filter. "True HEPA" filters will remove the smallest particles at the greatest efficiency.

High Efficiency Particulate Air (filter) is a disposable, extended medium, dry type filter with a particle removal efficiency of no less than 99.97 percent for 0.3 micrometer particles. ISSA - This acronym is for the International Sanitary Supply Association. This organization was designed to work as a governing body and resource network for JanSan distributors. The ISSA has grown to be a leader in training tools for the custodial Industry and holds an annual convention each year where the manufactures display their product offering to potential distributors. This convention now includes end users with the its Inter Clean terminology. In-House - The term In-House is used to describe people or employees of a facility, and is essentially the opposite of a contract service, where these In-House employees are doing the cleaning and are employed exclusively by that facility.

High Efficiency Particle Air - a type of air filter that removes 99.97% of all particles greater than 0.3µm in diameter.

High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, which removes particles in the air by forcing it through screens containing microscopic pores. HEPA filters in heating and cooling units may offer relief to those who have a high sensitivity to allergens.

Stands for "High-Efficiency Particulate Air." HEPA vacuums and HEPA masks are, respectively, vacuum cleaners specially equipped with a HEPA filter, and face masks equipped with a HEPA filter. The vacuums are used to help clean up lead-contaminated dust. The masks are used to prevent inhalation of lead dust.

Is in reference to air filtration, a high efficiency particulate air filter meeting the specifications of a nuclear grade filter, providing a 99.97% filtration efficiency at a 0.3 micrometre particle size.

HEPA (IPA: ) is a type of air filter.
