Abstract:

Purpose. To determine the correlation between adhesion tightness of filtering half-masks and anthropometric indices of employees faces.

Methodology. To study tightness of the half-mask adhesion to a users face, a coefficient of NaCl aerosol test was determined in accordance with the requirements by DSTU EN 149:2017 (EN 149:2001+A1:2009, IDT). Volunteers took part in the testing selected in keeping with the parametric table divided into 12 settings along the face length and across its width. The tests were carried out using Respi and Standart respirators produced in lots by SPE Standart ltd.

Findings. It has been identified that the tested filtering half-masks correspond to the standards by DSTU EN 149:2017 (EN 149:2001+A1:2009, IDT) and provide adequate protection of respiratory organs of users against harmful aerosols. It has been demonstrated that the required half-mask adhesion to a face depends upon the obturator design, half-mask geometry, and stretching force of a headband. It has been proved that employees with small faces require the instrumental verification of the preferred half-mask while selecting respiratory protective equipment. In turn, for users with large faces quality control is quite sufficient by means of any suitable method described by DSTU EN 529:2006 (EN 529:2005, IDT). Individuals with large faces have demonstrated the greatest values of the tightness coefficient of filtering half-mask adhesion.

Originality. It is represented by the scientific substantiation of the tightness coefficient of filtering half-mask adhesion upon the length and width of users faces.

Practical value. Mathematical expressions have been derived making it possible to calculate the tightness coefficient of the half-mask adhesion relying upon the face size. The abovementioned will help assess preliminarily protective characteristics of respirators without specific laboratory equipment.

Keywords: penetration coefficient, inflow coefficient, half-mask, obturator
