We’ve been covering cleanroom basics in our recent blogs and will continue with this for the next few blogs. A cleanroom is a space that has a number of controls in place to limit particulates and contaminants. According to Wikipedia the average outdoor urban environment contains as many as 35,000,000 particles per cubic meter that are of the size of 0.5 µm This is the same as a Cleanroom level ISO 9 the gradations go down from there until you reach a ISO 1 cleanroom that allows no particles in that size range. So what does that size even mean you might ask if you are new to cleanrooms. The size designation µm is the scientific term for the unit of measurement that used to me known as a micron. It is equal to one millionth of a meter, or one thousandth of a millimeter or one 25th of an inch. There are 25,400 microns to one inch. 40µm is visible to the human eye. 5µ can be felt by the human fingertip.A grain of sand is from 100 to 2000 µm a mold spore is 10-30 µm.
