Entegris Project Work

High-Flow Filter Assembly and Testing:

• I was tasked with continuing to test new designs for a small high-flow filter

• Assembled 3 different sizes of filter prototypes

• Performed flow testing on many core batches to record preliminary differential pressure data

• Performed bubble point testing on the filters to ensure they were sealed properly

• Re-flow tested filters to see if data changed after bubble point testing

• Analyzed and graphed data points in Excel

• Chose the most promising filter design which enabled the transition of the filter from a R&D project to a new product

I am not allowed to share images from my time at this company, so I will just give an overview of my role and projects during this co-op.

Integrity Test Fixture Design:

• I was tasked to design fixtures to test the integrity of 2 new filter designs.

• Designed two test chambers on SolidWorks, one was larger to accommodate a larger membrane

• Came up with a plunger and o-ring system to enable the filters to be held snuggly in the fixture and be practically air tight

• Designed a connection and latching system that let a particle counter feed into the test chamber and take an accurate reading

• Created technical drawings of the bases and lids for both fixtures so they could be manufactured

• Due to long lead times, I was not able to test parts before the end of of co-op, but I did receive the functional parts right before my co-op ended
