Rooms for critical processes i.e. cleanrooms as well as mini environments demand precise environmental monitoring technology and methods in order to operate consistently within specifications. This is not just about meeting standards, but more importantly about the quality of your products e.g. pharmaceutical medicines, semiconductor chips, or manufacturing processes. Robust and highly accurate differential pressure instruments from Novasina address pressure measurement challenges and help with the smooth operation of your cleanroom facilities.

There are multiple standards that can be mentioned in connection with cleanrooms. While VDI 2083-19 addresses the tightness of containments, other standards state clear differential pressure difference requirements, like the DIN EN ISO 14644-3/4 cleanroom classification, VDI 2083 (3) or GMP Annex 1 of 5-20 or 5-15 Pa.

The primary approach to ensure the protection of people, products, and manufacturing environment is to create pressure cascades between rooms. This is intended to ensure that air always moves from a cleanroom to a non-controlled room. Additional techniques that are used to maintain cleanrooms include: point- and surface air extraction, clean air hoods, laminar flow workspaces, air curtain, filter fan units, mini environments, Restricted Access Barrier Systems (RABS), safety work benches for biology or similar, glove boxes, clean machines, isolators and other containments.
