Soft Wall Cleanrooms
Soft-wall Cleanrooms (SWCR):
A soft-wall clean room (SWCR) is a highly filtered and air-pressurized room utilized as a part of specialized industrial production or scientific research. Cleanrooms are designed to maintain extremely low levels of particulates, such as dust, airborne organisms, or vaporized particles. Soft-wall Clean-rooms (SWCR’s) utilize specialized vinyl panels (either sheet curtain, split-curtain, or a combination of both types of curtain) instead of solid wall panels, significantly reducing both the room cost and room assembly time.
Cleanrooms typically have a cleanliness level quantified by the number of particles per cubic meter at a predetermined molecule measure. The ambient outdoor air in a typical urban area contains 35,000,000 particles for each cubic meter in the size range 0.5 μm and bigger in measurement, equivalent to an ISO 9 cleanroom, while by comparison an ISO 1 cleanroom permits no particles in that size range and just 12 particles for each cubic meter of 0.3 μm and smaller.
ISO 14644-1 and ISO 14698
ISO 14644-1 and ISO 14698 are non-governmental standards developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The former applies to clean rooms in general (see Design Guide For Cleanrooms, linked below); the latter to cleanrooms standard applies where biocontamination may be an issue.
The QS-Series (see Bulletin #203 below) from Cleanrooms International offers soft-wall cleanrooms (SWCR’s) in sizes from 8’x8’ up to 12’x24’, with ISO (Fed 209E) classifications from ISO-8 (100,000) down to ISO-6 (1,000). These SWCR’s are easily customized, adding nominally to the delivery lead-times of the stick-build cleanrooms.
