Filter Cartridge Assembly
Filter cartridges are used to remove
slight odors from gases or vapors, or
to remove dusts, mists, and fumes that
may be in the air supply.
When odors of vapors or gases
become noticeable, or when breathing
resistance becomes uncomfortable,
the cartridge must be replaced. Filter
cartridges should be checked for flow
resistance using the P/N 465783 Filter
Resistance Tester from MSA.
The P/N 476089 Cartridge Holder is
approved for use with the supplied-air
configuration of the Abrasi-Blast res-
pirator only, when it is equipped with
the following filters:
GMA Cartridges approved for respira-
tory protection against not more than
1000 parts per million of organic
vapors. Available in packages of 10

ry protection against particulates under
the 42CFR84 P100 classification
