Abstract:

To clarify the related scientific concept of particle size used in testing mask filter efficiency, this paper systematically introduced the basic concepts and descriptive methods of particle size and particle size distribution for filter efficiency test in the Chinese national standard GB 2626—2006 "Respiratory protective equipment-non-owered air-purifying particle respirator". On the basis of reviewing the concepts of respirable dust and mass median aerodynamic diameter(MMAD), emphasis was laid on the calculation method for converting the count median diameter (CMD) into MMAD, which proved that the CMD provided in GB 2626—2006 meets the requirement of MMAD 0.3 μm, the most penetrating particle size, used for the filter efficiency test. Based on the conversion method, the dust size with MMAD higher than 7 μm used in AQ 1114—2014 "Self-inhalation filter type dust respirator for coal mines" for filter efficiency test was discussed. The particle filter efficiency of typical filtration media used in masks was tested using the 0.3 μm particles. It provided professional guidance for the correct evaluation of domestic and foreign standards for particle masks.

Key words: mask, particle protection, particle size distribution, mass median aerodynamic diameter, most penetrating particle size, filter efficiency, standard
