Phramaseal Specification
specification (252-975-1141)
1.0 - General
1.1 – Roomside replaceable ducted ceiling module with sealed air entry chamber, air volume control,
and 40% open area face grille.
2.0 - Construction
2.1 - Filter hood shall be constructed of ( 0.063" aluminum, 16 gauge 304 stainless steel) with joints and
seams factory welded (including inlet collar for guillotine dampers, butterfly dampers shall be
intermittently welded and caulked) and sealed airtight. Hoods shall be designed in such a manner that
they are 100% seal welded at the pressure boundary of the filter-to-hood interface; i.e., elastic sealants
are not allowed as a means of sealing the upstream side of the hood from the cleanroom.
2.2 - Hood design shall include an integral knife-edge on the inside perimeter of housing-to-filter seal. A
fluid gel shall be used to seal the filters to the hood knife-edge. Hoods shall include four filter guides to
self-center filter onto hood knife-edge. The filter will be secured in place by four captive retainers.
(2.3 - Hood shall be provided with a flush hinged removable perforated T-304 stainless steel grille having
40% open area with 2b finish. The grille shall be hinged on the long side and retained by two 1/4 turn
stainless steel fasteners, which shall not require the use of hand tools for filter service.)
(2.3 - Hood shall be provided with a 2” extended hinge removable perforated T-304 stainless steel grille
having 40% open area with 2b finish. The grille shall be hinged on long side and retained with hidden
fasteners, which shall not require the use of hand tools for filter service.)
(2.3 - Hood shall be provided with a flush removable perforated T-304 stainless steel grille having 40%
open area with 2b finish. The grille shall be retained by four retainer studs and acorn nuts which shall
not require the use of hand tools for filter service.)
(2.3 - Hood shall be provided with a 2" extended removable perforated T-304 stainless steel grille having
40 % open area with 2b finish. The grille shall be retained by four retainer studs and acorn nuts which
shall not require the use of hand tools for filter service.)
2.4 - Hood shall include a diffuser plate on the air inlet, to diffuse the air throughout the plenum area
above the filter, providing uniform air distribution through the filter.
2.5 - Hood shall be provided with a static pressure port accessible from the room side. The port shall
sample the upstream side of the installed filter in order to determine the pressure drop across the filter.
Static pressure ports shall be seal welded in place and include a stainless steel 5/16” machine screw
sealed with a Viton O-ring.
(2.6 - Hood shall have a static pressure port accessible from room side. The port shall sample the
upstream side of the installed filter in order to determine pressure drop across the filter. Static pressure
ports shall be seal-welded in place and include a 3/8" NPT chrome-plated brass quick-disconnect with a
snap-in barbed connector.)
(2.7 - Hood shall have a nozzle accessible from room side to inject an aerosol challenge into the unit’s
upstream plenum, for testing. The injection nozzle connection shall be a 3/8" coupling welded in place
with a hex head brass plug).
(2.7 - Hood shall have a nozzle accessible from room side to inject an aerosol challenge into the units
upstream plenum for testing. The injection nozzle connection shall be seal-welded in place and include a
3/8” NPT chrome-plated brass quick-disconnect with a snap-in barbed connector.)
(2.75 – A guillotine type damper shall have two (2) blades, which slide horizontally from open to close.
Damper adjustments shall be fully accessible from the room side. The damper control rod shall be
operated by means of a 9/16" nut driver/socket or ratchet/socket. Damper shall be operated by a
mechanical linkage and be factory installed. It shall have a positive locking feature and a damper position
indicator).
(2.75 – A butterfly type damper shall be fabricated from galvanized steel and installed in the hood inlet.
Damper shall be heavy-duty allowing continuous damper adjustment under high airflow conditions.
Damper control rod shall be operated by means of a flat blade screwdriver and shall be accessible from
the room side.)
(2.8 - Permanent trim (PT) shall be a 5/8" wide flange formed into the body of the hood. Material for the
trim shall be a hemmed doubled layer of 1/16" thick sheet metal. The metal material shall be the same
as the hood body material.)
(2.9 - Stainless Permanent Trim (SPT) shall be a (1-1/2", 2") wide trim fabricated of 14 gauge T-304
stainless steel with a #3 finish on the room side surface. The trim shall include the filter seal knife-edge
and shall be permanently attached to the hood body with solid rivets seal-welded in place. Outside
corners shall have a 1/8" radius to help prevent injuries during installation.)
(2.9 - Stainless Removable Trim (SRT) shall be (1-1/2", 2") wide trim fabricated of 14-gauge T-304
stainless steel with a #3 finish on the room side surface. The design of the hood shall allow the SRT to be
field attached to the hood body with stainless steel pop rivets without penetrating the hood’s pressure
boundary. Outside comers shall have a 1/8" radius to help prevent injuries during installation.)
(2.95 - Units with guillotine dampers shall include a duct connection collar which shall extend a
minimum of 3" from the top surface of the hood. The collar shall be welded to the hood to ensure a leak
free connection. Collars shall have a raised rib or duct grips to prevent flex duct blow-off.
(2.95 - Units with butterfly dampers shall include a duct connection collar which shall extend a minimum
of 3" from the top surface of the hood. The collar shall be mechanically connected to the hood to ensure
a sturdy connection. Collars shall have a raised rib or duct grips to prevent flex duct blow-off.)
2.96 - Hood shall be insulated externally on (both top and sides, top only), with 2" thick foil back
insulation held in place with 3" aluminum foil tape and tac-toos.
3.0 – Performance
3.1 - All hood welds will be visually inspected for pinholes, porosity, indentations or inclusions exceeding
10% of base metal; lack of filler material, excessive weld build up and cold shunts.
3.2 - Hood shall be leak tested per defined quality control procedure, Camfil Farr # CFWSP-5001. The
hood knife-edge shall be sealed off with a jig and the hood plenum area will be pressurized to 3.0" w.g.
All welds in the knife-edge area and all penetrations such as damper control, static and aerosol ports,
shall be bubble-tested for leaks. The exterior hood body welds shall also be bubble-leak tested. All hoods
must meet zero leak criteria before shipping from the factory.
3.3 - Each unit shall have an individual serial number for quality control and traceability. The number
shall be traceable to the aforementioned testing and such documentation shall be available from the
factory on request.
4.0 – Transport
4.1 - After the hood has been found acceptable, it shall be cleaned and packaged for shipping. Hoods
with trims larger than 5/8" will be boxed with foam spacer blocks to prevent damage to trim.
