Filter Selection Guide


02 | DRÄGER FILTER SELECTION GUIDE

This brochure will give you a brief over view of


the most important factors to consider when
choosing filtering respiratory protection
devices. This information can help you protect
yourself against harmful substances in the air
by selecting the appropriate masks and filters.

1. What must I consider when choosing


a respirator?
The hazards in your environment must be known, as
well as the work requirements and the external con-
ditions. Additionally you must take into consideration
the protection level required by your respirator – as
well as the type and protection level of the necessary
filter.

2. Please check the following before using


filtering respiratory protection:
• Is there enough oxygen in the ambient air? (see
your local legislative requirements – in Germany
a minimum of 17 Vol. % is required)
• What contaminants are in the ambient air?
• What are the concentrations of the contaminants?
• Are the contaminants in gas, particle, or vapour
form? Or are they a mixture?
• Do the contaminants have adequate warning
properties (e.g. smell or taste?)
• What are the applicable Occupational Exposure
Limits (OEL)?
• In addition to respiratory protection, is other
personal protection equipment
(e.g. eye or ear protection) required?

3. Which respirator should I choose?


It is necessary to answer all of the above questions
(in 2.) to determine the needed protection factor.
Table 1 gives you a brief overview of the nominal
protection factors (NFP) for respiratory protective
devices. The NFP is the highest permissible leakage
level according to the approval requirements of the
respective device. It indicates the mathmetically
calculated maximum protection performance. To
evaluate the minimum required protection factor –
you will need to know the concentration of the haz-
ardous substance you are dealing with as well as the
assigned Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL) of the
| 03

substance. An OEL (like AGW) is the concentration


of a specific airborne substance – averaged over a
reference period, which shows no evidence to be
threatening to ones health if exposed to it, at that
concentration, on a daily basis.

Values have been taken from the EN 529:2005 and BGR 190.
Additional national and local regulations must be followed.
Keep in mind that the performance indicated by the nominal protection
factor can only be achieved when the respiratory protective device is
worn correctly and has been properly maintained. Make sure you choose
the size that fits best for your face. Also, a respirator should only be worn
on cleanly shaven faces, as facial hair in the sealing area causes leakage.

Example: Determining the needed protection factor of your


respirator
Contaminant: Lead dust (particle
protection is needed)
Concentration at the work place: 3 mg/m3
OEL (Occupational Exposure Limit): 0.1 mg/m3
Minimum protection factor =
concentration of hazardous substance 3
= = 30
OEL 0.1
04 | DRÄGER FILTER SELECTION GUIDE

You can see in table 1 that with a needed minimum pro-


tection factor of 30 for lead dust, you will need to use
a P3-filter or together with a half mask, a full face mask,
or PAPR. In the case where the contaminants are present
in both particle and gas form, the nominal protection
factor must be established for each one separately.
For the selection of filtering devices, the higher protection
factor must be applied. The concentration of gases is
measured in ppm (parts per million= volume of the
substance within 1 m3 of air) or mg/m3 (= weight of the
substance within 1 m3 of air) and the concentration of
particles (dust) only in mg/m3. While mg/m3 deals with
weight and ppm with volume, there is no direct calcula-
tion for mg/m3 to ppm. Higher concentrations are often
indicated in % by volume, 10,000 ppm = 1 Vol. %.

4. What is the maximum concentration of the conta-


minant for which I can use respiratory protection?
You can determine the maximum permissible concen-
tration by multiplying the nominal protection factor (as
found in table 1) by the Occupational Exposure Limit
(OEL).
Maximum permissible concentration =
nominal protection factor × OEL
Example: Determining the maximum permissible concentration2)

Contaminant: Chlorine dioxide


OEL: 0.1 ppm (Occupational Exposure Limit)
Respirator: Full face mask with combination filter B P2
Nominal protection factor × OEL = Maximum permissible
concentration
Nominal protection factor of full face mask with gas filter: 2,000
2,000 × 0.1 = 200 ppm Chlorine dioxide
Nominal protection factor of full face mask with particle filter P2: 16
16 × 0.1 = 1.6 ppm Chlorine dioxide
When using a combination filter, which is the case in the above
illustration, both of the maximum permissible concentrations need
to be calculated, i.e. the value for the gas filter and the value for
the particle filter. The lower of the two values should be taken as
the maximum permissible concentration for this combination filter.
For the example above therefore, the maximum permissible con-
centration for chorine dioxide when using a full face mask with
a B P2 combination filter is 1.6 ppm of Chlorine Dioxide
2)
Values and terms of calculation have been taken from the EN 529:2005
and BGR 190. Additional national and local regulations must be followed.
Values of OEL based on AGW according to German regulations and
there of time-weighted average values over a reference period and
not any short term exposure limits.

5. How to select the right filter?


Contaminants come in different forms – generally:
aerosols (solids/particles) and gases (gases, vapours).
You can choose between the filter types to protect
against one of these forms or a combination of both
of them.

Solids / particles: Dusts, fibres, fumes,


microorganisms
(e.g. viruses, bacteria,
fungi, spores) and mists
Gaseous substances: Gases and vapours

The following table shows you the color coding of


filters according to EN 14387 – which helps you to
determine which filter-type is needed for the conta-
minants you are dealing with.

against gascompounds is absolutely impermissible.
4)
CO filters for one time use only. Must be disposed after use. Special
guidelines according to local regulations apply.
5)
Hg Filters can only be used for a maximum of 50 hours according to
EN 14387.
6)
NO filters for one time use only. Must be disposed after use.
7)
Reactor filters: special guidelines according to local regulations apply.

Differentiation of filter types


Filters are split in different classes according to their
capacity (gas filters) or their efficiency (particle filters),
see table 3. Gas filters of class 2 may be used at
higher concentrations or for a longer time than class
1 filters. The class of a particle filter indicates how
efficient the filter is in filtering out particles.
(class 1: 80 %, class 2: 94 %, class 3: 99.95 %).

Example Filter Types :

A2B2 P3

A filter with the above mentioned colour code is


suitable for the following contaminants:
A gases and vapours of organic compounds with
a boiling point beyond 65 °C up to concentrations
covered by filter class 2 and
B inorganic gases and vapours, e.g. chlorine, hydro-
gen sulphide, hydrogen cyanide, up to concentra-
tions covered by filter class 2 and
P particles up to concentrations covered by filter
class 3.

6. When using filtering respiratory protection,


always keep the following in mind:
Never use any kind of filtering respiratory
protection device...
• in oxygen deficient atmospheres (see local
legislation for further guidelines e.g. Germany
less than 17 Vol. % O2)
• in poorly ventilated areas or confined spaces,
such as tanks, small rooms, tunnels, or vessels
• in atmospheres where the concentrations of the
toxic contaminants are unknown
• when the concentration of a contaminant is higher
than the maximum permissible concentration and /
or the filter class capacity
• when the contaminant has poor or no warning
properties (smell, taste or irritation), such as
aniline, benzene, carbon monoxide, and ozone

Immediately leave the area if...


• breathing resistance increases noticeably
• you began to feel dizzy
• you smell, taste, or become irritated by the
contaminant
• your respirator is damaged

Make sure that...


• the selected respirator fits properly
• if both gases and particles are present, that you
use a combination filter, to filter out both gases
and particles

7. How long does a filter last?


The service life of a respiratory filter depends on its
size and on the conditions of use.
Factors affecting service life:
• concentration of the contaminants
• combination of the contaminants
• air humidity
• temperature
• duration of use
• breathing rate of the user
Since the service life is influenced by many factors,
it is not possible to give an estimated service life.
Important is:
• local / company regulations
The end of service life is generally recognizable by:
• in gas filters by a noticeable taste or smell of the
contaminant
• in particle filters by an increased breathing
resistance
• in combination filters a noticeable taste or smell
and/or an increased breathing resistance

mendations

particulate matter or particles occur, a combined filter is required (e.g. A P2)
e.g. B [E] P2: B P2 filter is required; alternatively, an E filter can be used
instead of the B filter
