3. Introduction Principles
The 3M™ 101 Series Integrity Test Device is a small lightweight portable device used for testing the integrity of membrane filters within the filter
housing system to be used in. When testing a filter, the Operator only needs this document and does not need to know or remember any of the
testing parameters. Test parameters are entered into the test device program memory once and whenever a test is performed. The test device LED
screen displays the test pressure and instructs the operator when to close the pressure valve following stabilization. The pressure hold test will stop
automatically when the test is complete indicating a result by means of colored LEDs. Each filter test carried out is automatically saved into the test
device memory allowing the operator to recall the results of the test on either the display screen or to print a hard copy by either connecting the unit
to a PC with the mini-USB cord or wireless via a BluetoothTM compatible printer.
The 3M 101 series integrity test device has been designed to test a variety of membrane filters. The unit can be programmed up to 19 individual
test protocols.
The 3M 101 series integrity test device is a semi-automatic “intelligent” precision pressure gauge, with a data storage memory. Due to the size of
the Integrity Tester, it does not have an integral valve for automatic pressure adjustment; consequently it is not completely autonomous, signaling
the operator with text and indicator lights to make a manual adjustment when needed.
During the integrity test, the 3M 101 series integrity test device
takes a very precise pressure measurement. It measures the pres-
sure drop within the housing during the test time and calculates the
diffusion rate based on the pressure drop and the upstream volume
of the housing.
The calculation is based on the following principles :
The filter system is pressurized on the up- stream side to a pres-
sure P1. The housing / filter combination has a known upstream
volume of V1(Figure 1). At the beginning of the test, the upstream
pressure source is isolated and the downstream P1left open to
ambient. During the test, gas will diffuse from the pressurized
upstream side of the filter to the ambient downstream side. This
diffusion will be calculated from the decrease in the upstream pres-
sure P2. The volume of gas lost due to diffusion V2can be calcu-
lated (Figure 2) as follows:
Total volume of gas initially in the filter system :
C = P1x V1
The energy of the gas remaining in the upstream volume after the test plus the lost energy due to diffusion through the filter.
C = (P2x V1) + P0x V2Where P0is ambient
Because P1and P2can be measured, V1and P0are known then V2can be determined with the following calculation:
V2= (P1- P2) x V1
P0
To calculate the diffusional flow rate mL/min:
Diff = V2
Test time (min)
Any temperature fluctuation will affect the accuracy of any pressure measurements and the diffusional flow rates. It is important that neither the
ambient temperature nor the temperature of the source gas fluctuate during the test period. Testing should not be carried out immediately follow-
ing steam sterilization of the filter system but only after the housing has cooled to ambient temperature. It is further recommended that testing be
performed under normal environmental conditions and temperature extremes are avoided during the testing period.
NOTE: Diffusional flow rate calculations from the measured change in pressure, the Integrity Tester assumes the temperature is at a constant 20 °C
and that the atmospheric pressure does not vary from 14.5 psi (1000 mbar).

6. How to carry out an Integrity Test
6.1 Connecting the 3MTM 101 Series Integrity Test Device to the Filter Housing
The 3M Series Integrity Test Device can be connected directly to the housing with a regulated compressed air source and tee. It is important that the
3M Series Integrity Test Device stay vertical so that any water accidentally introduced with the compressed air system cannot enter the 3M Series
Integrity Test Device and penetrate the electronics with in the device. See Figure 4 on the next page.
NOTE: When running an integrity test, make sure that the pressure used to fill the filter housing does not exceed the maximum diffusion test pres-
sure of the test filter, device, and the housing.
To prevent measurement errors, follow the following recommendations: - Do not exceed maximum operating pressure (see technical specifica-
tions), avoid sudden bursts of pressure
CAUTION
• To reduce the risks associated with impact: Do not connect device to a pressure source above 64 psi (4400 mbar).
- Use only clean, dry, oil free, filtered compressed air or nitrogen
- Drain the filter housing before connecting the 3M Series Integrity Test Device , this prevents the possibility of any water penetration.
- Install the Integrity Tester to be a vertical, upright position as shown in Figure 4 on the next page.

6.3 Running a Pressure Hold Test (PHT)
The 3M 101 Series Integrity Tester will determine whether the entire filter system (housing and piping) has any leaks
and whether or not the installed filters are structurally integral. Before testing the filter, the filter cartridge must be
fully wetted. (Follow 3M Purification’s recommended wetting conditions for the grade of filter installed.) It is impor-
tant the operator ensures that the whole surface of the membrane is wet. When wetting out of the filter has been
achieved, open the upstream and downstream housing drain valves to drain the housing of excess water.
When the 3M 101 Series Integrity Test Device is first turned on, the display will provide displays ‘CONTINUE: *

The pressure required for the test is displayed. The yellow LED flashes. Manually adjust the pressure at the
filter system. As soon as pressure is detected, the indicator moves to the next step.
Manually adjust the pressure at the filter system. If the pressure is outside the tolerance thresholds, the
device indicates “CAUTION - DEVIATION!” Adjust the pressure so that it is within the tolerance thresholds. You
can adjust the tolerance thresholds in the configuration.
As soon as the pressure is within the tolerance thresholds, the operational sequence of the stabilization
period starts automatically and the remaining time is displayed.
NOTE: As the test pressure is approached, slowly and carefully adjust the pressure applied to the housing.
DO NOT exceed the test pressure to be used by more than + 1.435 psi (+ 99 mbar). If the test pressure
is exceeded by 1.435 psi (99 mbar) and not adjusted prior to beginning of the test, the final result will be
displayed as a “FAIL” even if the measured result is less than the maximum PHT limit. The tester recognizes
that the correct test pressure has been reached and automatically initiates the stabilization phase.
During stabilization, the pressure reading is the actual pressure to the housing. If the reading is > + 1.435
psi (+ 99 mbar), the pressure to the housing can be reduced as long as it is reduced and stable BEFORE the
end of the stabilization periods. During stabilization, the yellow LED is illuminated indicating “please wait”.
The elapsed time is displayed in seconds.
Stabilization time can also be shortened by pressing the arrow key
Once stabilization time has finished, to continue with the test, close the connected compressed air supply.

9.2 Calculation of the Diffusion Rate
When the Operator is programming the Integrity tester to run an integrity test, the test limit must be calculated. The maximum diffusion rate
for a cartridge must be determined and entered into the test program. The 3M 101 Series Integrity Test Device provides the maximum diffu-
sion rate limit for each filter grade per 10” filter element. For longer length filter cartridges, this diffusion rate per 10” filter element must be
multiplied:
Diffusion rate = diffusion rate limit per 10” filter cartridge x number of 10” cartridges in the installed
Housing. For example:
Calculation for a 20” cartridge is: maximum diffusion rate = FFIT limit value per 10” cartridge x 2
Calculation for eleven (11) 30” cartridges is: maximum diffusion rate = FFIT limit value per 10” cartridge x 33
9.3 Calculation of the Upstream Volume
The following two methods are used to assess the upstream volume of a system:
1. Install the filter cartridges to be tested into the filter housing. Flush the system with ambient temperature water in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommended flushing conditions, ensuring that any entrapped air is removed from the housing by venting the housing
during this flushing step. Close the housing vent valve after all the trapped air has been released from the housing. After the recom-
mended flush volume and time, close the upstream water inlet valve. Place a suitable sized container under the upstream inlet drain
valve of the filter housing, open the upstream drain valve and collect the water that runs out when the housing upstream vent valve is
opened. Weigh the amount of water collected and calculate the upstream housing volume.
2. Manually measure the housing and calculate the volume as if the housing was a cylinder. Measure and calculate the volume of inlet
piping from the upstream shut off value to the housing inlet and add this value to the calculated housing volume. Measure and calcu-
late the volume occupied by a cartridge, multiply the value by the number of cartridges and subtract this value from the housing and
piping volume calculated.
3. For help, contact your 3M Purification Inc. representative.
9. Entering a Test Program
9.1 Test Parameter limits
The 3M™ Series Integrity Test Device can create and store 19 different test programs for the testing of 19 different filter / housing combina-
tions. For this purpose, you must enter the data for your system in the device.

9.4 Entering Test Program

The direct print-out of the test data takes place wirelessly through a Bluetooth printer, that is available as an accessory with the 3M™ 101
Series Integrity Test Device.

-17-
Notes:
In order to be able to print via BluetoothTM, the Bluetooth setting must be activated in the Service Menu in the CONFIGURATION function. For this
purpose, set the Bluetooth mode value to 2, as described on page 7.
In addition, a connection to this printer must be created and saved in the BLUETOOTH function. If a connection to a printer has been created once,
it will be automatically established as soon as the printer and the filter test device are switched on. If the printer or the device is switched off, the
Bluetooth connection is terminated. The Bluetooth connection requires that the printer is located in close proximity (a few meters) to the filter test
device.
Printer functions can be accessed only when the Bluetooth connection is active. If the Bluetooth connection is broken, you receive a “PRINTER NOT
READY” display.
Strong radio signals or other Bluetooth transmitters can interfere with the connection. Therefore, it is best to disable Bluetooth devices that could
interfere with the connection.
