How to safely and effectively choose a gas mask filter canister.
2024-12-02
The gas particulate filter tank is a device filled with materials such as activated carbon, which have chemical and physical adsorption and filtration capabilities, capable of removing dust and toxic harmful substances from the air. The air filtered by the gas particulate filter tank is supplied for breathing. This device can be large or small, depending on the connection components and device requirements, as well as the concentration of dust and toxic substances in the air, the size of the space required for filtered air, and the lifespan of the filter equipment for use and replacement. For example, the filter tank installed under a gas mask is very small and has a certain specification that matches the gas mask. In contrast, the filter tank installed on an air ventilation filter device is larger and can be designed according to specific requirements or selected based on existing product specifications. The filtering materials filled in the filter tank need to be replaced regularly, and their types are determined based on the types of dust and toxic substances, their concentrations, and the timing of regular replacements. Next, let's understand how to choose a gas particulate filter tank.
First, it is necessary to choose the type of filter canister for gas masks that is suitable for different gases.
Gas mask filter canisters can be divided into: ordinary filter canisters, multifunctional filter canisters, comprehensive filter canisters, and special filter canisters.
Ordinary gas mask filter canisters include: Type A: for protection against organic gases or vapors; Type B: for protection against inorganic gases or vapors; Type E: for protection against sulfur dioxide and other acidic gases or vapors; Type K: for protection against ammonia and its organic derivatives; Type CO: for protection against carbon monoxide gas; Type Hg: for protection against mercury vapor; Type H2S: for protection against hydrogen sulfide gas.
Multifunctional filter canisters include: filter canisters that protect against two or more types of toxic gases, including those in ordinary filter canisters.
Comprehensive filter canisters: ordinary filter canisters or multifunctional filter canisters with smoke filtering capabilities.
Special filter canisters: filter canisters for protection against special gases or vapors that are not specified by national standards and are specifically indicated by the manufacturer.
The second step is to choose the filtration level of the effective gas mask filter canister.
According to national standards: gas mask filter canisters are classified by protection time as follows:
Level 1: general capability protection time; Level 2: medium capability protection time; Level 3: high capability protection time; Level 4: special capability protection time.
The third step is that if your environment involves toxic substances and dust and smoke, you should use a comprehensive filter canister.
The comprehensive filter canister should confirm its smoke filtering performance, classified by smoke filtering efficiency as follows:
P1: general capability filtering efficiency: ≥95.0%; P2: medium capability filtering efficiency: ≥99.0%; P3: high capability filtering efficiency: ≥99.99%.
To choose a safe and effective gas mask filter canister, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the above three factors. Different working environments require targeted selection of gas mask filter canisters, and it is not a one-size-fits-all approach. It is recommended to make scientific choices under the guidance of experts.
