ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) codes and standards provide strict rules for materials of construction, design, fabrication, examination and inspection of pressurized vessels. ASME publishes its standards and accredits users to ensure that users' products meet its standards. These safety codes and standards are designed to protect public health and safety. ASME provides a stamp that accredited manufacturers such as Pall Corporation may place on their filter housing pressure vessel products, to indicate that they comply with the standard.

3-A Sanitary Standards

3-A Sanitary Standards were developed by the food and dairy industries to establish sanitary design criteria for processing equipment. Manufacturers of equipment used in sanitary food and beverage processing applications must receive authorization from the 3-A Symbol Council to use the 3-A symbol on equipment they manufacture. Pall Corporation is authorized to use the 3-A symbol on its filter housings which meet this standard. The 3-A symbol serves to assure sanitary processors that our equipment meets 3-A standards, meets design criteria accepted by equipment manufacturers who incorporate Pall filters in their sanitary processing systems, and meets sanitarians' guidelines for standards compliance.

Contamination control is one of the most critical concerns in manufacturing semiconductors and discrete devices. Faced with ever-increasing pressure to maximize production yields in order to compete in world markets, today's microelectronics firms are also challenged by demands for ICs with greater memory, faster speeds and reduced size. Thus, the dilemma of achieving greater yields in the face of shrinking device geometries has intensified the need for filtration and purification at every crucial stage of semiconductor fabrication.

Experience has shown that proper application of micro-filtration, purification and ultra-filtration from front-end to back-end processing can significantly increase production yields. Pall Corporation's technology and products are continuously advancing to meet industry demands for removal of particulate and bacterial contamination from process fluids and gases. Furthermore, in order to maintain the highest possible purity of the process fluids being filtered, emphasis is placed on ensuring the quality and cleanliness of our filters and housings during manufacturing, assembly and packaging.
