3M Respirator Qualitative Seal Test Overview
The 3M Respirator Mask Fit Exam tests the seal of any particulate respirator or gas and vapor respirator with a particulate filter. The qualitative exam is pass or fail. It uses the user's senses of taste and smell to detect leakage in the mask. After the mask is secured and the hood placed, the test solution is sprayed into the hood. The solution tastes sweet or bitter, depending on the type of exam used. If the user tastes the bitterness or sweetness, the qualitative exam has failed and the fit must be adjusted.
