Type: Short-answer question. Question: [Safety Technology] How to use a long-tube respirator?
Before use, please inflate it first and then put on the hood; once it is properly fitted on, proceed to the working area; Once the work is completed, remove it after leaving the work area. When removing it, take off the hood first and then turn off the gas supply system
Before use, check whether the pressure of each air supply meets the required operating pressure, and conduct thorough routine inspections. Respirators, portable air supplies, and emergency air supplies must not be put into use if any faults or potential hazards are detected. During use, if you feel that the supply of air is insufficient, breathing is difficult, or any other discomfort occurs, you should immediately leave the area or use an emergency exit to get away. During use, the long tube attached to the mobile air supply of the long-tube respirator should be properly protected, to prevent it from coming into contact with sharp objects, corners, or corrosive substances, as well as from rubbing against rough surfaces while being pulled, thus avoiding punctures, scratches, or damage to the air supply tube. If contact with corrosive substances occurs, it should be immediately washed and dried with clean water. If the gas supply hose is damaged, it must be replaced right away. If the air supply vehicle for the long-tube respirator cannot follow the user at close range, another supervisor should be assigned to monitor the situation in order to check the air supply, issue alerts when it is about to run out, and notify the user in case of any accidents.
First, insert the socket on the mobile air supply hose from bottom to top into the quick-connect plug of the waist valve; thereafter, insert the plugs for the mask and the air supply valve as well into the waist valve. Of course, this can also be done before wearing the shoulder strap. Doing all this before wearing it is also intended to save time, so as to be better able to focus on work. After putting on all the protective equipment, the portable air supply can be turned on; then the breathing mask is worn, and once breathing becomes easy, one can enter the work area. 2 Of course, this medium-long tube respirator can also be used by two people, but using it in this way is not as simple as when used by just one person. When two people are using it simultaneously, it is necessary to wait until both of them are ready, and a full body check must be carried out – mainly to ensure that everything is properly worn. Only after everything is properly fitted can they enter the work area. Maintain a certain distance when entering as well; the two people need to aim in the same direction, which also helps prevent accidents caused by pulling on the air supply tubes. It can be said that these usage methods are certainly well understood by those who use them, but some people, out of carelessness, end up causing serious problems, which is definitely something that many people do not want to see happen. Therefore, we must conduct a thorough inspection before starting to work at the site.
1. Long-tube respirators are not suitable for use in oxygen-deficient environments, as working in such conditions can threaten our lives and health. 2. Before use, please inflate the air first and then put on the hood; only after it is properly fitted should you enter the working area. 3. Once the work is completed, remove it after leaving the work area. When removing it, take off the hood first and then turn off the air supply system. Reply quickly here#
Remove the special waist and back straps, and adjust the waist strap and back strap; Insert the quick connector on the gas supply tube of the mobile gas source from bottom to top into the quick connector of the waist valve, then insert the connector of the mask-gas supply valve into the quick connector of the waist valve. It is also possible to connect the connectors of the mobile gas source and the mask directly to the waist valve before wearing the back strap. Open the cylinder valve of the portable gas supply, put on the breathing mask, and only after being able to breathe freely can you enter the work site.
1. Before use, check that all components are in good condition and clean; ensure that the air ducts are free of cracks, bubbles, flattening, bending, leaks, and that the connections are secure and airtight. 2. Testing the airtightness of the mask: Before putting on the mask, perform a positive pressure test—wear the mask and press the back of your hand against the breathing valve cover to ensure it is completely airtight. Exhaling increases the pressure inside the mask; if there is a leak in the mask, the increase in pressure cannot be felt. The straps should be adjusted to ensure the mask fits tightly against the face, or it should be checked whether the inhalation valve is functioning properly. 3. Align the threaded interface on the mask with the threaded interface of the air duct and rotate them until they are tightened tightly without any looseness. 4. Wear a mask; the air duct can be secured to the waist with a rope or similar, and check that it moves freely. 5. Take a deep breath and feel whether breathing is smooth. Place the end of the air duct that is not connected to the mask in a location with safe, fresh air, and secure it properly. 6. Only after inspection confirms there are no issues, and under the supervision of a designated person, may one enter the work site.
First of all, workers who use long-tube respirators must be professionally trained, able to master the operational procedures skillfully, and handle various emergencies. Before using a long-tube respirator, it is necessary to thoroughly check whether all components are in good working condition, whether the mask fits tightly, and whether there are any damages or leaks in the air-conducting tubes. If any of these issues arise, they must be repaired or replaced promptly. It is important to note that when using a long-tube respirator in a highly dangerous working environment, there must be a second person present other than the user, who will monitor things at the blower end to ensure an adequate supply of air in the respirator. After use, long-tube respirators should be cleaned and disinfected promptly, and stored properly for future use.
1. Check the equipment; 2. The placement location should be clean, free from toxic and harmful gases ; 3. Ensure power is not cut off while in use. :)
1. Since long-tube respirators are related to our health at work, we need to provide thorough training for users. Furthermore, it is necessary to carefully read and understand the instructions for using this long-tube respiratory protection before using it, and to follow those instructions. This not only improves the skills for using it but also prevents usage errors. 2. Long-tube respirators are not suitable for use in oxygen-deficient environments, as working in such conditions can pose a threat to our lives and health. 3. Before use, please inflate the air first and then put on the hood; only after it is properly fitted should you enter the working area. 4. Once the work is completed, remove it after leaving the working area; when removing it, take off the hood first and then turn off the gas supply system
Remove the special waist and back straps, and adjust them appropriately according to the wearer’s body shape so that the valve and escape bottle are located on either side of the waist (pay attention to the direction of the valve; the quick connector should face upward). This ensures comfortable wear without restricting arm movement. First, insert the quick connector on the gas supply tube of the portable gas source from bottom to top into the quick connector of the waist-mounted valve, then insert the connector of the mask-gas supply valve into the quick connector of the waist-mounted valve. It is also possible to connect the connectors of the portable gas source and the mask directly to the waist-mounted valve before wearing the back strap. Open the cylinder valve of the portable gas supply, put on the breathing mask, and only after being able to breathe freely can you enter the work site. If two people are using it simultaneously, they should wait until both of them have fully put on the equipment before entering together, and be careful to maintain proper distance and direction to avoid accidentally pulling on each other’s air supply tubes and causing accidents.
