Current and legacy manufacturer information

  1. Applied Physics — DI Water and Utility Fogger archive: legacy Utility Fogger / UF2 context and industrial airflow applications.
  2. CRF2 Cleanroom Fogger: current localized ultrasonic category.
  3. CRF3 Cleanroom Fogger: current mid-volume ultrasonic category.
  4. CRF6 Cleanroom Fogger: current higher-output ultrasonic category with dual 80 mm outlets.
  5. AP30 Ultrapure Fogger: current self-pressurized LN₂ category.
  6. AP35 Ultrapure Fogger: current passive/dewar-style LN₂ category.
Standards and professional practice

Quantitative testing remains separate from visual observation

  1. ASHRAE Standard 111-2024 purpose and scope: HVAC measurement, testing, adjusting, balancing, evaluation and reporting.
  2. NEBB — Testing, Adjusting and Balancing: systematic measurement and adjustment of HVAC performance.
  3. ISO 14644-3:2019: cleanroom and clean-zone test methods.
  4. FDA aseptic-processing guidance: context for airflow visualization in sterile processing.
  5. FDA 2026 warning-letter example: dynamic studies should represent actual equipment, materials and interventions.
Safety references

Fog medium and exposure require review

  1. NIOSH Health Hazard Evaluation: theatrical smoke: minimize exposure, avoid direct concentrated release and use manufacturer-approved fluids.
  2. NIOSH smoke-simulant case study: high exposure to mineral-oil mist can create serious respiratory hazards.
Claim tiers

How the site uses evidence

Current product truthActive AP product page plus internal confirmation.Specific but subject to quotation/protocol reconfirmation.
Legacy manufacturer recordHistoric AP pages or manuals.Labeled archival; conflicts remain visible.
Formal standard / regulatorISO, FDA, ASHRAE, NEBB, NIOSH.Summarized within scope; never converted into product certification.
Engineering recommendationReasoned application guidance.Presented as planning advice, not historic product fact.
Unknown or conflictingInsufficient or inconsistent evidence.Qualified, routed for review or omitted.
Frequently asked questions

Questions this page should settle

Why are some product specifications qualified?

Applied Physics pages and product configurations can change. Current values should be reconfirmed before quotation, purchase or protocol use.

Does linking a standard mean the fogger complies with it?

No. The standard governs a method, facility, system or evidence. Product selection is only one part of compliance.
