As a crucial part of PPE, face masks must not only filter hazardous particulates and gases, they must also conform to strict standards on flow restriction, such as EN-149 and EN-14683.
These standards ensure that the masks are safe to wear and do not impinge too much on natural breathing, both during inhalation (vacuum) and exhalation (positive pressure). Based around the Furness Controls FCO792 Flow Tester, the mask testing station includes all of the advanced functions of this device, with automated sequences, flexible communications and full integration with jigs and other machinery.
