Mask Gas Filter Test
Mask filters are used in a lot of applications and in a lot of devices such as:
· Masks and hoods for aviation
· Filters for house-hold products
· Filter and components for medical devices
· Absorbents and cartridges for anaesthesia workstations
· Breathing devices
· Etc..
For the safety is important that the filters are tested for the gases of interest.
Etg Risorse e Tecnologia srl has developed based on its long experience and know how, a system to generate the gas to test starting from the pure gases such as:
Cl2
SO2
NH3
H2S
The mask filter at the end of the pneumatical circuit is tested with a mixing compound at the desired concentration, the operator could always check the different flows of the inert gas and the toxic gas.
This system helps the mask filter producer to generate gas in a reliable and a fast way, permitting to their internal laboratory to test their different filters at different concentration and so to check the production, but also to develop new brand filter to improve the production. The aforementioned system has a dual potentiality: laboratory test and tool for the production.
