Filter Selection Guide

DRGER 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 conditions. 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 hazardous
substance you are dealing with as well as the
assigned Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL) of the

DRGER FILTER SELECTION GUIDE

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.

1) 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:

0.1 mg/m3

04 |

DRGER FILTER SELECTION GUIDE

You can see in table 1 that with a needed minimum protection 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 calculation 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 contaminant for which I can use respiratory protection?
You can determine the maximum permissible concentration by multiplying the nominal protection factor (as
found in table 1) by the Occupational Exposure Limit
(OEL).
Maximum permissible concentration =
nominal protection factor x OEL
Example: Determining the maximum permissible concentration2)
Contaminant:
OEL:
Respirator:

Chlorine dioxide
0.1 ppm (Occupational Exposure Limit)
Full face mask with combination filter B-P2

Nominal protection factor x OEL = Maximum permissible

concentration
Nominal protection factor of full face mask with gas filter: 2000
2000 x 0.1 = 200 ppm Chlorine dioxide
Nominal protection factor of full face mask with particle filter P2: 16
16 x 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 concentration 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 EN529:2005
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:

Gaseous substances:

Dusts, fibres, fumes,

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

The following table shows you the color coding of

filters according to EN14387 which helps you to
determine which filter-type is needed for the contaminants you are dealing with.

DRGER FILTER SELECTION GUIDE

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, hydrogen sulphide, hydrogen cyanide, up to concentrations 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

DRGER FILTER SELECTION GUIDE

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

(here: AGWs, valid in Germany) and filter recommendations

This is only a small choice of contaminants as example.
