Now, more than ever, it’s crucial to stop the spread of infections. The Acudor ADWT Access Panel is airtight and watertight, making it a vital part of laboratories and cleanroom construction. The ADWT is a flush access door that has been tested for air infiltration, exfiltration, and water penetration. This door is also compliant with Level 3 Biosafety Laboratories (BSL3). It is essential that the required standards are met before the biocontainment facility is commissioned. A critical aspect of such a facility is the gas-impermeable walls, ceiling, and floors within the laboratory. Special considerations are given to joints, finishes and penetrations. Work surfaces, floors, walls, and ceilings should be designed, constructed, and finished to facilitate cleaning and decontamination. Access panels must have piano hinges and gas-tight gaskets. The AcudorADWT exceeds the standards stipulated by BSL3 (Level 3 Biosafety Laboratories), making it the perfect choice for laboratory and cleanroom environments.
ADWT : Watertight / Watertight Access Panel for Laboratories and Clean Rooms.
Features and tests:
Air infiltration: Leakage ≤ 0.01 cfm/sq. ft. at 6.27 psf – ASTM E 283/E283M-19
Water Penetration: No leakage at 15.04 psf – ASTM E 331-00(2016)
ASTM E283/E283M-19 “Standard Test Method for Determining the Rate of Air Leakage Through Exterior Windows, Curtain Walls, and Doors Under Sample-Specified Pressure Differences,” for Air Infiltration and Exfiltration at 300 Pa (6.27 psf) with Maximum Leakage Result ≤ 0.1 L/s/m2 (0.01 cfm/ft2)
ASTM E331-00(2016) “Standard Test Method for Water Penetration into Exterior Windows, Skylights, Doors, and Curtain Walls by Uniform Static Air Pressure Difference,” for resistance to water penetration at 720 Pa (15.04 psf) without leakage.
