he Metrological and Financial
Implications of a Clogge Fan-Filter!
Martin Aust / Hewlett-Packard
Greg Burnett / Hewlett-Packard

When you've peeked around the back
of an ATE system, have you ever dis-
covered one or more dirty or clogged
fan filters?
If not, then congratulations!
Maybe your work environment ap-
r proaches `clean room' quality - or
maybe your preventive maintenance
program is effective enough to keep the
filters clean.
However, it's reasonable to consider
that the majority of systems are oper-
ating in environments and processes
