Positive pressure air respirators and filtering gas masks are both respiratory protective equipment widely used in firefighting and chemical production, providing users with safe breathing protection. So why do air respirators ensure breathing safety better than filtering gas masks? Today, the editor of Haiante will explain.
Positive pressure air respirators and filter-type gas masks are both respiratory protective equipment, widely used in firefighting activities and chemical production, providing users with safe respiratory protection. So why can air respirators ensure respiratory safety better than filter-type gas masks? Today, the editor of Haiante will explain.
Both air respirators and filter-type gas masks are types of protective equipment, but their working principles, protective targets, and usage times are not similar. Let's analyze the differences between the two.

 

1. Air respirators are a type of isolation respiratory protective equipment that provides respiratory protection for personnel working in oxygen-deficient and toxic environments. When used normally, the pressure inside the air respirator mask is always slightly higher than the external environmental pressure, effectively preventing toxic and harmful gases from entering the gas mask, ensuring user safety. Filter-type gas masks include filter cotton, filter cartridges, and filter canisters, and are usually used in conjunction with gas masks. They remove dust and toxic gases from the air through physical adsorption and chemical reaction principles for breathing.
2. Air respirators are isolation respiratory protective equipment that directly supplies air from the respirator's gas cylinder after being worn, isolating the user from external toxic and harmful substances. In contrast, filter-type gas masks are self-aspirating filtration types, which, when used with gas masks, require the user to utilize their own breathing pressure to filter external toxic substances through the activated carbon in the filter canister, so the principles of the two are different.
3. Air respirators generally have a usage time of 45-60 minutes, while the usage time of filter-type gas masks is related to the concentration of toxic and harmful substances at the work site, making it difficult to specify.
4. After wearing an air respirator, it can isolate all toxic and harmful substances, while the protective targets of filter-type gas masks vary. Different filter canisters or filter cartridges protect against different toxic gases, each with its limitations.
The above is an introduction to air respirators and filter-type gas masks. If you have any questions about these two products, you can call 400-666-9811 to consult our customer service staff, or consult our customer service staff on this website.
