NOTE: If Feller Calculations are required by your procedures, a Feller table follows. Please use at your discretion.
FELLER CALCULATION TABLE (1-100 CFU)
Applies to P100 300 Hole inlet Covers: P100.INLT.28 (28.3 LPM/1 CFM) & P100.INLT.100 (100 LPM)
Description
Feller conversions are calculations performed, per the formula below, to allow for potential coincidence capture events,
whereby more than one organism could potentially be drawn through the same inlet of the air sampler and be impacted, or
captured, on the same location on the test plate. Too note, the Feller Calculation is really intended for higher concentrations
of particles. As such, many sieve sampler producers don’t start applying the calculations until the “r” value of 15-30 CFU.
What is depicted below is the full calculation, starting with an “r” value of 1, or 1 CFU.
