Automotive / Cars & Trucks / Air filter manual
English term or phrase: Coarse Test Dust
We design our air filters to provide superior filtration of the contaminants that can harm your engine while maximizing the airflow characteristics of the filter in question. The ability of an air filter to protect your engine is generally measured in accordance with testing procedure ISO 5011. We subject a sample of our filter designs to this test procedure using Coarse Test Dust, which includes particles ranging in size from less than 5.5 microns to 176 microns.

polvo para pruebas grueso / polvo de ensayo grueso
Explanation:
Of course, if the original speficies "coarse" then I don't see any reason whatsoever to invent any other interpretation - that would be mistranslation.

Some researched examples:
"...para una retención de polvo sin elemento secundario según ISO 5011 con polvo para pruebas SAE grueso"
https://www.interempresas.net/FeriaVirtual/Catalogos_y_docum... - page 76

"El polvo de prueba fino normal es utilizado principalmente para pruebas de filtros de aire para aplicaciones automotrices en caminos pavimentados y el polvo de prueba grueso normal es utilizado para filtros de múltiples etapas que usan separadores inerciales y operan en lugares con mucho polvo."

polvo especial de prueba


Explanation:
Yo lo diría así, aunque ¨coarse¨se puede referir a polvo ¨grueso¨. Pero si se trata de un filtro preocupa más el polvo ¨fino¨, muy pequeño.

disagree  Neil Ashby: The original states coarse for a reason. There are tests with fine and coarse dusts, they reflect different filter capacities. A fine filter becomes clogged too easily under unsuitable conditions, so a coarse filter is preferable.

agree  Wilsonn Perez Reyes: Reference: First, “coarse” test dust is exactly that, and it's not going to tell you much other than that you have a filter... https://autoengineer.wordpress.com/tag/iso-5011/
