Qualitative Face Fit Testing Qualitative testing can be used to determine the seal quality of disposable half-masks, and it can also be used for re-usable half mask respirator fit tests. It relies on the person’s sense of taste to determine the mask’s effectiveness.To begin with, the individual will be asked to wear a hood without the mask. The tester will then spray a strong-tasting solution into the hood and ask the person to indicate when they identify it. This will determine how much of the solution will need to be administered in the test.After this, the person then be required to wear the test mask and the hood whilst performing a variety of movements and light exercises to simulate normal working conditions. If the person can taste the solution, the seal is not effective.Quantitative Face Fit Testing The process of quantitative face fit testing is quite different. Unlike qualitative methods, this type of testing isn’t reliant on the person, and uses methods such as particle counting to effectively measure the quality of the seal. We choose to use the TSI Portacount Pro when performing this method of testing. Currently, it is the only fit tester on the market that can test all different kinds of masks.The TSI Portacount Pro works by counting particles. The wearer is required to partake in exercises that will simulate normal work practices to check the validity of the seal. The Portacount will then measure the number of particles that enter the mask at this time, comparing it to the number of particles which are challenging it.

It was very in depth, understandably and not an easy subject matter to get across - I felt it may have been easier to digest with a couple of short case examples?

I am not here to rate you.
