Project 

Tests of applicable requirements according to section 5 in EN ISO 11143:1999. 

Test of separation efficiency. Three tests with an empty amalgam separator (0%) and 

three tests with a separator filled to the maximum filling level (100%). 

Control of warning systern, alann system for collecting container, removal of filled 

coilecting container or fiiter and check of maximum mass of filled collecting container. 

Additionally instructions for installation, use, maintenance and service according to 

section 11 in EN ISO 11143:1999 and marking according to section 12 in EN ISO 

11143:1999 was checked. 

Method 

SS-EN ISO 11143:1999. The standard amalgam samples were used (10 g- ISO 11143 

November 2000). The membrane filters used during the test of separation effsciency 

was Millipore Glass Fibre Prefilters, Millipore Type SM 5,Opm and Millipore'I'ype RA 

1,24m in series.

The drawings were found to correctly describe the separators. 

5.1 Efficiency 

Test Flow Filling A.mount passing Degree of 

(Llmin) level (°lo) separator (g) separation (%) 

11 1" 4 0 0.0329 99.7 

"2" 4 0 0.1335 98.7 

"3" 4 0 0.2898 97.1 

"4" 3.7 * 100 * * 0.3260 96.7 

"5" 3.8* 100** 0.1851 98.1 

"6" 4.0* 100** 0.4570 95.4 

The result according to 9.6 (Detetmination of efficiency) is 96,7 %. 

The standard deviation with 0-% filling level is 1,3%. 

The standard deviation wit.h 100-% filling level is 1,4%. 

The maximum filling level of 100% is 1300g. 

* During the Test 4-6 the flow was unstable. 

**The filling material consisted of 72 nil amalgarn scrap (<0.3 mm) supplied by the 

client, and glass pelIets 167 ml with I mrn diameter. The total volume was 239 ml. The 

density of the amalgam scrap in the test was 5.43g/m!. 

In test 1-3 the Amalgam Separator with serial No 5124 was tested. In test 4-6 the 

Amalgam Separator with serial No 5014 was tested. 

5.2 Warning system 

The amalgam separator fulfils the requirements. 

5.3 Alarm system for coIIecting container 

The amaigam separator fulfils the requirements. 

5.3 Itemoval of filled collecting container or filter 

The amalgam separator fulfils the requirements. 

5.3 Maximum mass of #llled collecting container 

The amalgam separator fulfils the requirements. 

11 Instructions for installation, use, maintenance and service 

The ama.lgam separator fulfils the requirements. 

12 Marking 

The amalgam separator fulfils the requirernents. 

The testing shows that the tested Amalgatn Sepairators fulf"rl the requirements in 

EN ISQ 11143:1999.
