Sundström SR 217
Organic gas filter A1
Description
Organic vapour filter class A1 (regular capacity).
Material
Plastic polypropylene. No metal parts.
Usage
Used against organic gas and vapour with a boiling point above +65°C,such as solvents. The filter fits into the filter attachment of Sundström’s half and full face masks. An SR510 particle filter can be snapped onto the front of the filter.
Size
— Largest diameter: 106 mm
— Thickness: 28 mm
Weight
113 g
Carbon
The filter contains 70 g of activated carbon.
Adsorption capacity
In tests with 1,000 ppm carbon tetrachloride at 30 l/min, the filter lasts for 90-110 minutes (standards requirements: >80 min) The filter absorbs approximately 20-25 g carbon tetrachloride (standards requirements: >15.4 g).
Pressure drop
— At 30 l/min: 25-30 Pa (standards requrement: <100 Pa)
— At 95 l/min: 120-140 Pa (standards requirement: <400 Pa)
Storage
Store at room temperature in clean, dry place. If seal has been broken, store away from contaminants in an air-tight container. Shelf life is 5 years if seal is unbroken. Expiry date printed on filter.
WARNING
1. One precondition for the use of filter protection is that the air contains a normal level of oxygen.
2. Gas filters are effective against gas / vapour only. Particle filters are effective against particles only (such as dust, mist, smoke). If both types of contamination are present (i.e. while spraying liquids or condensing vapours), a particle filter should be used in conjunction with gas filter.
