Product catalog summary
Overview: The document describes the SILICA DUST test equipment developed on the Metabolic Breathing Simulator OXY ROBOT platform. It is designed to determine the resistance of respirators to dust clogging, specifically for developers and manufacturers of respiratory protective equipment (RPE), certification bodies, testing laboratories, research centers, and universities.
Applications & Industries: The equipment is applicable for testing HEPA filters in powered air-purifying respirators (PAPRs) and is used in RPE certification, research, and design.
Principle of Operation: The test equipment is designed to meet silica dust test requirements for HEPA filters according to procedure № RCT-APR-STR-0025 NIOSH. It includes a dust chamber, anthropometric dummy head, breathing machine, dust generator, and a measuring system for dust concentration. The breathing machine simulates human breathing, and an absolute filter captures dust passing through the HEPA filters during testing.
Relevant Standards: The testing follows procedure № RCT-APR-STR-0025 NIOSH, with specific environmental conditions such as ambient temperature (18 to 25 °C), atmospheric pressure (630 to 800 mm Hg), and relative humidity (30 to 60%).
Software Platform: The software provides real-time feedback on breathing parameters, exports test results in PDF and Excel formats, and maintains a database of RPE types and models. It is hosted on a touch display and a personal computer application.
Delivery Components: The equipment package includes glovebox gloves, a trolley for the breathing machine, an exhaust air filtration system, a vortex blower, a sampling system, a vane anemometer, a filter holder, and a tablet PC with installed software.
Specifications: Key specifications include breathing depth (0.5 to 3.0 dm³), breathing frequency (10 to 40 min⁻¹), exhaled gas temperature (35 °C), and silica dust content in the air (50 to 60 mg/m³). The equipment has a power consumption of no more than 5 kW and an average lifetime of at least 10 years.
Service and Support: The equipment comes with service support, development customization, a warranty of at least 12 months, and customer staff training.
Advantages: The SILICA DUST platform offers unique research and quality control capabilities, modern control methods via a user-friendly application, time-saving features for lab staff, and a lightweight, ergonomic design.

DESCRIPTION Test equipment is purposed for a silica dust test requirements on HEPA filters designed for powered air-purifying respirators (PAPRs) acc. procedure № RCT-APR-STR-0025 NIOSH. It consists of a dust chamber made of marine laminated plywood with anthropometric dummy human head, a breathing machine, a dust generator, measuring system for dust concentraon in the chamber (aspirator), a cleaning air system from dust. The necessary test condi ons are created in the dust chamber, and the breathing machine simulates the human external breathing and creates a pulsa ng, sinusoidal-like airflow....
