In what situations are filter-type and isolated-type gas masks used respectively? Answer: Filter masks are only suitable for use in environments where the oxygen content in the air is above 17% and the concentration of toxic gases is below 2%. When the concentration of toxic gases is high, or when working inside containers or equipment where the concentration of harmful gases exceeds the allowable level, an isolated mask must be used. http://down.hcbbs.cc/attachment/forum/201706/10/203353z7y06fdo70r6eod0.jpg Petrochemical area – New ideas for energy savings: the “Creative Thinking” campaign (the second phase is currently in full swing). http://bbs.hcbbs.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1666758 (Source: Haichuan Chemical Industry Forum) 2017: “My Technical Upgrades” in the coal chemical industry. http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1786290-1-1.html (Source: Haichuan Chemical Industry Forum website)
Filter-type gas masks can only be used in normal working environments; they cannot be used in areas with low oxygen levels or lethal gases； Isolated gas masks can be used in situations where filter-based gas masks are not suitable, such as in environments with low oxygen levels or highly toxic gases.
Filter-type gas masks are suitable for environments that pose a threat to the respiratory system but do not immediately endanger life and health. Self-contained gas masks supply oxygen from within the mask itself, and there are three types: air-supplied, oxygen-supplied, and chemically generated oxygen types. Isolation masks are primarily used in environments with high concentrations of toxic air (when the volume concentration is greater than 1%), or in special situations such as high altitudes with low oxygen levels, underwater, or in enclosed compartments.

. Filter masks are only suitable for use in conditions where the oxygen content in the air is above 17% and the concentration of toxic gases is below 2%. When the concentration of toxic gases is high, or when working inside containers or equipment where the concentration of harmful gases exceeds the allowed levels, an isolated mask must be used
The conditions for using a filter-type gas mask are: an oxygen volume concentration in the air of more than 19.5%, an ambient temperature ranging from minus 30°C to plus 45°C, and a gas concentration that meets the specified requirements; its use is strictly prohibited in oxygen-deficient environments. Isolated gas masks mainly include long-tube respirators and oxygen respirators. Usage conditions for long-tube respirators: Ambient temperature: from -30°C to +45°C, with the length of the air duct not exceeding 20 meters. Conditions for using oxygen respirators: The temperature should be between -20°C and 60°C. The oxygen cylinders of oxygen respirators must always be handled with care; oil, grease, or other flammable materials must not come into contact with the cylinders or their valves. Do not open the valve of the oxygen cylinder in areas where there are open flames or sparks, to prevent fires.

The filter type is used when the value is below the safe level, while the isolation type is used when it is above the safe level.
In the event of a toxic gas leak, a filtering gas mask can be used when the volume concentration of oxygen in the air is above 18%; in other cases, an isolated gas mask should be used.
