The Solution
WHAT IS PARTICLE TESTING?
Particle testing services use advanced laser particle counters to measure and quantify particle concentration in compressed air and gas distribution systems. This non-destructive testing method verifies system cleanliness and compliance with ISO 8573 standards, SEMI standards or Client’s Specification ensuring gas delivery for semiconductor fabrication, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and electronics production.

HOW PARTICLE TESTING WORKS
Mechlink Quality Management uses calibrated laser particle counters to detect and size particles in real-time as gas flows through the distribution system. Our certified technicians determine optimal sampling points and testing protocols during pre-test consultation.
Testing Process Overview
Real-Time Detection Laser beam illuminates particles as they pass through a sampling chamber. Light scattering patterns determine particle size and count.
The Continuous Sampling System continuously samples gas until reaching acceptance criteria. Initial readings discarded to ensure stabilized flow conditions.
Data Recording Particle counts recorded and printed for each sample interval.

WHEN YOU NEED PARTICLE TESTING
Qualify all gas distribution systems before production startup. Required for semiconductor fab and pharmaceutical facility certifications.
Confirm system cleanliness after new piping installation. Verify cycle purging successfully removed construction debris and particles.
Test individual equipment gas lines before connecting process tools. Ensure particle-free gas delivery to critical semiconductor equipment.
Maintain ISO 8573 compliance and regulatory requirements. Document continued system cleanliness for audit purposes.
Re-verify system cleanliness following valve replacements, piping modifications, or filter changes. Ensure maintenance didn't introduce contamination.
Identify particle sources causing production issues. Troubleshoot unexplained contamination events affecting product quality.
24/7 rapid response for critical system failures. Minimize downtime with immediate leak detection and repair coordination.
24/7 rapid response for critical contamination events. Minimize downtime with immediate testing and troubleshooting (subject to availability, <3 hour mobilization).
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
