2. Respirator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respirator

   All respirators have some type of facepiece held to the wearer's head with straps, a cloth harness, or some other method. Facepieces come in many different styles and sizes to accommodate all types of face shapes. A full facepiece covers the mouth, nose and eyes and if sealed, is sealed round the perimeter of the face.

3. Powered air-purifying respirator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powered_air-purifying...

   For substances hazardous to the eyes, a respirator equipped with a full facepiece, helmet, or hood is recommended. PAPRs are not effective during firefighting, in an oxygen-deficient atmosphere, or in an unknown atmosphere; in these situations a self-contained breathing apparatus or supplied-air respirator is recommended instead. [5]

4. Respirator assigned protection factors - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Respirator_Assigned...

   The respiratory protective devices (RPD) can protect workers only if their protective properties are adequate to the conditions in the workplace.Therefore, specialists have developed criteria for the selection of proper, adequate respirators, including the Assigned Protection Factors (APF) - the decrease of the concentration of harmful substances in the inhaled air, which (is expected) to be ...

5. Elastomeric respirator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastomeric_respirator

   Full-face elastomeric respirators generally seal better. [2] For substances hazardous to the eyes, a respirator equipped with a full facepiece, helmet, or hood is recommended. [35] Eyeglasses can clash with elastomeric masks. Conventionally, full-face masks are modified, with prescription lenses inserted into the mask.

6. Self-contained breathing apparatus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-contained_breathing...

   An open circuit SCBA typically has three main components: a high-pressure gas storage cylinder, (e.g., 2,216 to 5,500 psi (15,280 to 37,920 kPa), about 150 to 374 atmospheres), a pressure regulator, and a respiratory interface, which may be a mouthpiece, half mask or full-face mask, assembled and mounted on a framed carrying harness. [2]

7. Supplied-air respirator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supplied-air_respirator

   Air-purifying respirators have APFs in the range 5–50 while SARs are in the range 25–2000, and full-facepiece pressure-demand SARs with an auxiliary pressure-demand SCBA have an APF of 10,000. For substances hazardous to the eyes, a respirator equipped with a full facepiece, helmet, or hood is recommended.
