RESPIRATORY MASK LEAK TESTER NBC 04 ISSUE II
The threat of being encircled by lethal gaseous environment for the fighting personnel cannot be ruled out in the present military scenario. The fighting personnel are provided with Nuclear Biological & Chemical (NBC) Equipment which provides whole body protection and protection to the respiratory tract and face. NBC respirator forms an important part of NBC protective ensemble. The Respiratory Mask Leak Testers, for evaluating the functional integrity of the respiratory masks before it is issued to the user, is developed by and manufactured by IEICOS - M/s Industrial Engineering Instruments, Bangalore, in collaboration with DEBEL, Bangalore.

IEICOS Leak Tester

DESCRIPTION
Each Leak Tester Set Comprises of the following :
1. Leak Tester (A) with Medium & Small Dummy head.
2. Leak Tester (B) with Medium & Large Dummy head.
3. Power Inverter [OPTIONAL]
4. Tool Box.

The Leak Tester essentially consists of two dummy heads and a suction generator, which is connected to a needle valve and a flow meter. The flow meter outlet is connected at the mouth of the dummy head. A pressure sensor located below the dummy head is also connected to the mouth through an adjacent steel pipe.

When the mask is not fitted on the dummy head, the Flow display shows maximum inward flow and Suction display shows zero. When mask is fitted, the leak flow rate decreases; the cavity suction level goes on increasing depending on the degree of fitment and tightness of the mask.

The Leak Tester is provided with digital display and a logic circuit, which indicates within 40 seconds whether a mask has passed/failed. This facility simultaneously compares the test values with admissible values and a comparator network decides whether the mask satisfies the pass/fail criteria. The glowing of green LED indicates the mask has passed. In the event of failure the reason is also indicated as, Suction fail or Flow (leak rate) fail by glowing of respective red LED.

The admissible values for Suction and Flow are engraved on the top of the panel for quick reference.

The "POWER ON" switch is provided to Switch on or Switch off the power. "PUMP ON" button is provided to Switch on or Switch off the Suction generator.

A "RESET" button is provided on the front panel, when pressed, gives on audible beep, then the Flow rate and Suction level is continuously displayed and readings are frozen after 40 seconds.

A circuit consisting of two 3/2 way solenoid valves connected in such a way that both the pressure and Flow connections are changed from one dummy head to the other simultaneously. “Head selector switch” when pressed changes the connections from one head to other.

The Suction "ZERO" knob provided on the front panel beneath the Suction display is used to adjust the initial zero value of the display by rotating the knob.

The "Flow Control" knob is provided with anti-tampering cap lock. For adjustment the cap has to be removed and the knob can be adjusted to get 500 ± 50cc/min quiescent flow when the Suction generator is switched on (without the mask fitted). By rotating the knob clockwise the flow decreases, by rotating anti-clockwise the Flow increases.
