A fit test adapter, one is required for each model of SCBA mask being tested. It is attached to the threaded connector of the APR Adapter and a sample tube is inserted through the APR Adapter inhalation valve. A barbed fitting on the fit test adapter body may be connected to an appropriate quantitative fit test apparatus.

American Airworks carries a full line of various quantitative fit test adapters for Survivair SCBA.

Annual unit recalibration of fit testers are recommended by the manufacturer at a cost of $550+.

If you need qualitative fit testing click here.

The qualitative fit test provides the user with a qualitative measure of the fit of the respirator. First, a sensitivity test is performed to determine if the test subject can detect the test agent being used.

Once it is determined that the test subject can sense the test agent, a qualitative fit can begin. The subject will perform a series of activities while wearing the respirator inside a testing chamber filled with test agent to ensure a proper fit.

Use our Bitrex qualitative fit testing kit as it is more accurate than using the Portacount fit tester and the OHD units cannot do fit testing on N-95 and N-100 APR masks.
