Serve to filter dust/lint from air coming into our chassis. (I don't > have an exact spec for particle size.) > 2. The material would be die cuttable so that we could have a shop cut > different configurations of it in large quantities. > 3. About 1/8" to 1/16" thick. > 4. Non hygroscopic (won't absorb water) > 5. Non-flammable. > 6. Slightly compressible (We would want to deflect the material > possibly 10% or so just to hold it in place. I would assume a maximum > desired deflection of 25%.) > 7. Strong (i.e. we don't want it to rip or tear) > > Does anybody know of a material that comes close to what we want? > > AdTHANKSvance for your help. > > Best Regards, > > Chris Maxwell | Design Engineer - Optical Division > email [email protected] | dir +1 315 266 5128 | fax +1 315 797 > 8024 > > NetTest | 6 Rhoads Drive, Utica, NY 13502 | USA > web www.nettest.com | tel +1 315 797 4449 | > > > > > > ------------------------------------------- > This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety > Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list. > > Visit our web site at: http://www.ewh.ieee.org/soc/emcs/pstc/ > > To cancel your subscription, send mail to: > [email protected] > with the single line: > unsubscribe emc-pstc > > For help, send mail to the list administrators: > Michael Garretson: [email protected] > Dave Heald [email protected] > > For policy questions, send mail to: > Richard Nute: [email protected] > Jim Bacher: [email protected] > > All emc-pstc postings are archived and searchable on the web at: > No longer online until our new server is brought online and the old > messages are imported into the new server. ************************************************************** Please visit us at www.tagmclaren.com ************************************************************** The contents of this E-mail are confidential and for the exclusive use of the intended recipient.
