Product catalog summary
Applications & Industries
The document outlines the use of the ELEGAS test equipment for various respiratory protective equipment (RPE) such as aerosol full face and half masks, filtering self-rescuers, and facemask respirators. It is applicable in industrial safety, emergency protection, and RPE certification, research, and design.

Specifications
The ELEGAS equipment measures total inward leakage using sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) as a test agent. Key specifications include:
  • Linear air flow velocity: 0.12 to 0.20 m/s
  • Additional air flow velocity: 1.80 to 2.20 m/s
  • Treadmill speed: 1 to 6 km/h
  • SF6 concentration: 0.1 to 1% vol.
  • Overall dimensions: 2360×1330×2410 mm
  • Power consumption: no more than 1 kW
  • Ambient temperature: 16 to 32 °C
  • Atmospheric pressure: 630 to 800 mm Hg
  • Relative humidity: No more than 60%

Principle of Operation
The ELEGAS equipment tests for leakage of SF6 under the mask's front part, bypassing the filter. It calculates the leakage coefficient of the test substance under the mask relative to its content in the chamber atmosphere.

Software Platform Possibilities
The software allows for automatic control of SF6 concentration, airflow direction, and speed. It supports real-time feedback and exports test results in PDF and Excel formats. The interface is available in English.

Relevant Standards
The equipment meets standards such as EN 149, EN 13274-8, EN 136, EN 1827, EN 12941, and EN 12942.

Delivery Components
The delivery includes a treadmill, IR spectrometer, vacuum pump, gas cuvette, control unit, and a tablet PC with installed software.

Advantages of ELEGAS
  • Universal platform for RPE research and quality control.
  • Modern control through a PC application.
  • Time-saving for lab staff with automatic test parameter maintenance.
  • Increased productivity with quick setup time.
  • Ergonomic design with plexiglass construction and built-in speaker system.

Service and Support
The document mentions service support for the entire period of use, equipment development according to terms of reference, a warranty from 12 months, and customer staff training.
