1.0 Purpose. This Standard Cont minimum performance standards for manufacture of demand type oxygen m for use with nonpressure demand (strai demand and diluter-demand) and press demand oxygen systems.

2.0 Design and construction of mask be eligible for approval under a Tech Standard Order authorization, the ox mask must possess the following design construction characteristics.

2.1 Masks designed for use with a motely located oxygen flow regulator include a flexible oxygen supply tube fix detachable at the mask or at the regu or at both. Oxygen supply tubes use conjunction with mask-mounted flow regulators are not subject to this graph.

ΟΙ

2.2 The mask must be designed for piration through the nose and mouth nasal). The mask may also include gral goggles designed to protect the eyes smoke and harmful gases (fullface).

2.3 The mask must be constructe materials that

(a) Do not contaminate air or oxyg (b) Are not adversely affected by con ous contact with oxygen; and

(c) Are at least flame resistant.

The mask must be designed to preche accumulation of hazardous quantif expiratory gases within the facepiece ber.

The mask must be designed to prethe formation or accumulation of frost would interfere with the function of thalation valve, unless it can be shown the frost can be removed by external ulation without removing the mask the face of the user.

The fullface mask must be designed lude means for the prevention or the 'al of condensation from the inside surof the goggle lenses.

Masks equipped with oxygen supply designed for quick disconnection at ask or at the regulator must incorpomeans to alert the user when his oxygen y tube has become disconnected. Such s must not restrict the flow of ambient rough the oxygen supply tube by an nt exceeding 25 percent. This section not apply if the quick disconnect deincorporates means to prevent inadit separation.

Performance. Five masks of each for which approval is sought must be 1 to comply with the minimum pernce standards set forth in paragraphs rough 3.12, except that only one mask ch kind is required to comply with the sions of paragraphs 3.6, 3.8, 3.9, and Tests must be conducted at ambient spheric conditions of approximately ig. and 70° F., except as otherwise speciGas flow rates and pressures must be cted to STPD.

Quick-disconnect coupling. The required to separate quick-disconnect lings not designed to prevent inadnt separation must not be less than 10 ds exerted along the axis of symmetry of xygen supply tube.

Strength. (a) The mask must be ble of sustaining a pull force on the ension device attachment fittings of less than 35 pounds in any direction period of not less than 3 seconds.

The oxygen supply tube assembly must ipable of sustaining a pull force of not than 30 pounds exerted along the axis mmetry of the tube for a period of not han 3 seconds.

The oxygen supply tube assembly must apable of sustaining an internal presof 1.5 p.s.i.g.

Leakage. (a) The total inward leakrate, with the complete mask positioned he face or on a suitable test stand in a ner which simulates normal use, must exceed 0.10 LPM, STPD, at any negative rential pressure within the range of from to 6.0 inches of water.

) Inhalation valves installed in pres-demand masks must not backleak more 1 0.015 LPM, STPD, when subjected to a ion pressure differential of 0.1" H2O and more than 0.15 LPM, STPD, when subed to a suction pressure differential of 'H,O.

3.5 Pressure-demand exhalation performance. The exhalation valve installed in a pressure-demand mask must open when the pressure within the facepiece is 20 mm. Hg. and the pressure in the supply tube is 15 to 19.9 mm. Hg.

3.6 Vibration. The flow of gases during the respiratory process must not cause vibration, flutter, or chatter which would interfere with the satisfactory operation of the mask.

3.7 Acceleration load. The exhalation valve must not inadvertently operate under a 3g. load applied in any direction.
