| Abstract |
The objective of this study was to develop laboratory test methods for dust-removing respirators that best reproduce true conditions of use. Three series of tests were carried out: leakage and pressure tests for ventilated devices; pressure measurements at various flow rates for supplied-air masks; leakage and pressure tests for negative pressure masks. The findings will facilitate the further development of new methods for the laboratory validation of respirators that are more representative of true conditions of use, rendering it possible to carry out a critical analysis of test methods used for their certification. |
