Breathing resistance Test device Boreas

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Boreas test device is designed for developers, manufacturers, certification bodies, testing laboratories, research centers, and universities involved in respiratory protective equipment (RPE). It measures breathing resistance and ensures safety by creating a constant airflow through RPEs.
Applications & Industries: The device is applicable for various RPEs, including filtering half-masks, anti-aerosol and anti-gas filtering RPEs, combined filtering RPEs, filtering self-rescuers, and RPEs for radioactive substances. It is used in industrial and fire safety, emergency protection, RPE certification, research, and design.
Principle of Operation: Boreas measures the air pressure difference between the surrounding atmosphere and the mask space of the RPE, calculating the resistance to airflow. It supports a volumetric air flow range of 30 to 125 dm3/min for inhalation and 30 to 160 dm3/min for exhalation, with a measured resistance of ± 1.1 kPa.
Specifications: The device dimensions are 193×260×415 mm, with a weight of 4 kg. It operates instantly, with a lifetime of at least 5 years and a time to failure of 40,000 hours. It functions within an ambient temperature of 18 to 30 °C, atmospheric pressure of 630 to 800 mmHg, and relative humidity of 10 to 80% RH.
Relevant Standards: Boreas meets standards such as EN 136, EN 140, EN 143, EN 149, EN 405, and EN 1827.
Delivery Components: The package includes a device for inflating a dummy head, a special case with IP67 protection for transportation and storage, installed software, and a documentation set.
Software Platform: The device features a customizable air flow, real-time feedback of test results, and automatic measurement of breathing resistance. It is equipped with a touch screen interface available in English.
Advantages: Boreas offers a universal platform for RPE research and quality control, ergonomic design, mobility, and increased productivity in testing processes. It is lightweight, easy to move, and can be tilted 90 degrees.
Service and Support: Second Breath OÜ provides service support, equipment development according to customer specifications, a warranty from 12 months, and customer staff training.
