The guidelines are based on Gore’s best practices in eWEP (extended Water Entry Pressure) testing for GORE® Portable Electronic Vents. Please follow the guidelines to conduct the eWEP testing to minimize water leakage failures caused by test issues.

To ensure that our products deliver the performance and reliability that you expect, we conduct various tests and use key performance indicators during vent production.

This application note provides data demonstrating high productivity, extended cycling durability performance of membrane-based GORE Protein Capture Devices with Protein A across two rapid Clean-in-Place methods bracketing caustic contact time and concentration. These data were then combined with results from a manufacturing-scale demonstration to extrapolate protein capture capabilities at a 2000 L batch bioreactor size across CIP methods.

Commercializing fuel cells in heavy-duty vehicles (HDVs) presents challenges like extended lifetimes, higher-temperature operation, and significantly increased power output, essential for displacing diesel. Simon Cleghorn discusses the compelling aspects of PEM fuel cells as an alternative to help solve these challenges, and potentially lower the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

The heavy-duty sector, representing 10% of vehicles yet contributing over 25% of carbon emissions, requires high power density and extended range capabilities. This article emphasizes the crucial role of advanced PEM technology in attaining sustainable and efficient fuel cell solutions.

GORE® Protective Vents vs. Common Venting Solutions

As the name says, Gore Protective Vents enable pressure equalization through venting with the key feature of ingress protection. Other venting technologies have limits to protecting against the ingress of dust and moisture.

GORE® Thermal Insulation has unique properties of low thickness (< 300 μm) with conductivity less than air (< 0.02 W/(m•K) ) and therefore presents challenges in characterization. A test methodology incorporating a modified heat flow method, ex-situ thickness method, and two thickness conductivity calculation is used to provide reliable and accurate thermal conductivity data. Conductivity results show the distribution of data falls below the conductivity specification of 0.02 W/(m•K).
