| S&B FILTERS TESTS AND POSTS OUR FINDINGS TO THE STANDARDS
MOST OTHER PERFORMANCE FILTER COMPANIES ARE SCARED TO USE:
ISO 5011 |
 |
|
S&B
uses its ISO 5011
Test Stand to compare airflow
of new intake kits to the
stock setup. |

The ISO (International Organization for Standardization)
establishes and specifies uniform test procedures,
conditions, equipment and a performance report
to permit direct laboratory performance comparison
of air filters and induction systems.
Testing to these high standards enables us to accurately
measure our products against not only OEM
[Original Equipment Manufacturer] equipment,
but also to the competition, allowing us to
establish the air filter performance benchmark,
which we are determined to do.
ISO is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies. The
work of preparing International Standards
is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. The specific individual International
Standard utilized by S&B and automotive
manufacturers establishes and specifies uniform
test procedures, conditions, equipment, and
a performance report to permit the direct
laboratory performance comparison of air cleaners,
in this case, those used on internal combustion
engines and compressors used in automotive
and industrial applications.

"This standard
is important to S&B because it is the
worldwide accepted yardstick for measuring
the performance of filters and intake
kits utilized by all of the automakers."
Berry Carter, President
S&B can
test filters at airflows up to 1,000
cfm with its ISO 5011 Test Stand. |
The performance characteristics of greatest
interest are airflow restriction (differential
pressure), dust collection efficiency and
dust capacity. The ISO 5011 Standard is what
S&B Filters adheres to as we seek innovations
and improvements in our product line, and
to test our products so they meet the highest
standard possible. We feel this is the standard
that all performance filter manufacturers
should be using to develop their products.
The end result is simple: increased horsepower
by reducing the restriction of the air filter
and/or intake kit while still protecting the
engine. Trust your performance needs to the
only performance filter manufacturer who tests
to these standards and post results - trust
S&B.

The
ISO 5011 Test Standard demands rigorous
attention to detail which includes heating
the blankets prior to and after testing
to remove any moisture. |
|
|
|
S&B’s
ISO 5011 Test Stand is a state-of-the-art
machine utilizing computer controls
to virtually eliminate any margin for
error. |
