The MERV scale is designed to represent the worst-case performance of a filter when dealing with particles in the range of 0.3 to 10 micrometers. The MERV value is from 1 to 16. Higher MERV values correspond to a greater percentage of particles captured on each pass, with a MERV 16 filter capturing more than 95% of particles over the full range.
The Facility Guidelines Institute recommends using sequential HEPA filters for ORs with a MERV rating of 7 (i.e., captures particle 10 to 3 μm in size) and 14 (i.e., captures particles from 1 to 0.3 μm in size). [5] One mechanism by which HEPA filters capture particles is electrostatic charge.
MERV is a standard used to measure the overall efficiency of a filter. The MERV scale ranges from 1 to 16, and measures a filter's ability to remove particles from 10 to 0.3 micrometer in size. Filters with higher ratings not only remove more particles from the air, but they also remove smaller particles.
Mesh is a measurement of particle size often used in determining the particle-size distribution of a granular material. For example, a sample from a truckload of peanuts may be placed atop a mesh with 5 mm openings. When the mesh is shaken, small broken pieces and dust pass through the mesh while whole peanuts are retained on the mesh.

HE-marked filters are 99.97% efficient against 0.3 micron particles and are oil-proof. [22] [23] [24] Since filters are tested against the by definition most penetrating particle size of 0.3 μm, an APR with a P100 classification would be at least 99.97% efficient at removing particles of this size.
