Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) FFT

Ensuring your team is protected with the highest industry standards using both Qualitative and Quantitative methods:

Quantitative  (QNFT)

The “Digital” Method: Provides a numerical measure of the seal (Fit Factor) using the TSI Portacount 8048.

Tech Specs: Uses laser diffraction to identify and count near-microscopic particles.
  • Mandatory for Full-Face Respirators.
  • Cannot be manipulated by the wearer.
  • Highly objective and data-driven.

Qualitative (QLFT)

The “Taste” Method: Relies on the wearer’s taste response to detect leakage using Bitrex or Saccharin.

Efficiency: Fast, portable, and requires no power source.
  • Best for Disposable (FFP) and Half-Masks.
  • Cost-effective for high-volume site testing.
  • Disposable RPE remains wearable after the test.
REQUIREMENT: All delegates must be clean-shaven and avoid eating/smoking for 30 minutes prior to any test.
