Principles of Operation :
The PremAire Cadet Respirator is a
pressure-demand device, meaning it delivers respirable air to
the user "on demand." As such, it maintains a slight positive
pressure of air inside the facepiece -- whether the wearer is
inhaling or exhaling -- to prevent contaminants from entering
the facepiece, should any slight face-to-facepiece seal leakage
occur.
Because the unit is a pressure-demand device, it can be used
with a large, compressed air cylinder or a bank of cylinders set
up in cascade fashion. For longer-duration air supplies, the
respirator also can be used with a compressor that delivers
respirable air to the user within the NIOSH-approved pressure
range.
Approvals & Standards :
PremAire Cadet Respirators have
received National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)
certification for use in atmospheres not immediately dangerous
to life or health (Non-IDLH).*
Units are approved for use with an operating inlet pressure of
60-100 psig, and only when used with MSA Air-Supply Hose.
PremAire Cadet Respirators require a source of compressed air
conforming to at least Grade D Compressed Gas Association, Inc.,
Commodity Specification for Air, G-7.1.
*Not immediately dangerous to life or health is defined in 42
CFR Part 84 as any hazardous atmosphere which may produce
physical discomfort immediately, chronic poisoning after
repeated exposure, or acute acverse physiological symptoms after
prolonged exposure.
Applications :
Asbestos Abatement
Construction
Nuclear
Oil and Gas
Sanding & Grinding
Spray Painting
Welding
Hazards :
Toxic Atmosphere Non-IDLH
Product Information :
The PremAire Cadet respirator is a
pressure-demand, Type C, supplied-air respirator designed to
provide users with a choice of respiratory protection options.
Available in two models, the respirator can serve as a basic
supplied-air device or, with the Duo-Twin option, function as a
combination air-line/air-purifying respirator. Designed for a
variety of applications, PremAire Cadet respirators are well
suited for use in the chemical and petrochemical processing
industries, utilities work, general industry and asbestos and
lead paint abatement. They also can be used for pharmaceutical
applications and for hazardous materials clean-up work in non-IDLH
(Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health) environments.
