DI-2-Ethylhexyl Phthalate Respirator Quantitative Fit Test Instrument

Abstract

Described in detail in this report is the United States Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine's modified di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate respirator quantitative fit test instrument and its application in fitting respirators to personnel for chemical warfare defense. The most significant modifications include a ganged potentiometer stray light calibration circuit, a direct current power buffer amplifier, and a voltage-to-frequency electronic integrator to facilitate the collection of respirator performance data. The utility of a computer algorithm to calculate protection factors is discussed. Since the design, calibration, operation, and maintenance of the di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate respirator quantitative fit test instrument are presented in this publication, it can be used as an operator's manual.
