Principles of Operation
Upon inhalation, contaminated air enters the gas mask canister, where it is filtered before reaching the wearer, who breathes in only clean, fresh air. See Bulletin No. 1000-61, Key Elements of a Sound Respiratory Protection Program.Approvals & Standards All MSA gas masks are certified by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). The specific numbers are shown under ordering information for each mask type. WARNING: Do not use gas masks for fire fighting. Failure to follow this warning can result in serious personal injury or death. Applications AgricultureChemical Electric Utility Hazardous Materials Oil and Gas Paper & Pulp Hazards Toxic Atmosphere Non-IDLHProduct Information Offer respiratory protection against a specific gas or group of gases, as indicated by canister identification. The gas mask assembly has the following Maximum Use Condition: Entry - 100x the Permissible Exposure Level; do not exceed the Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH) concentration. Escape - contaminant concentrations up to the maximum use concentration of the gas mask (generally, 20,000 ppm (2% by volume); see canister selection chart for details), providing there is adequate oxygen (19.5% by volume) to support life. At these upper use conditions, the service time may be as short as 12 minutes. The Super-Size gas mask has an extra-large canister, which will last approximately twice as long as the equivalent Industrial-Size canister because of a larger volume of chemical fill. Basic Info
