Hi all, I have spent hours looking at this, so hopefully someone can help? Does anyone have the technical spec for what constitutes a P3 filter please e.g. the pore size/grams/m3 or whatever measurement is commonly recognised. We are trying to get bespoke filters made for cab ventilation systems and when we say we want them to a P3 standard people look blankly at me, so I need to quantify what P3 means. I hope that, makes sense? Many thanks rob.

Not sure this is entirely relevant to your particular application: http://tsi.com/uploadedF...003_EN%20143-appnote.pdf

Thanks very much gents. It has confirmed what I had found. There appears to be no simple solution to this (I don't fancy £150 for the standard).
