November 29, 2011

Author(s)

Amy E. Mensch, George G. Cajaty Barbosa Braga, Nelson P. Bryner

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), conducted experiments which demonstrated a range of realistic thermal exposures and environmental conditions that firefighters could be exposed to. Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) facepieces

Emergency First Responder Respirator Thermal Characteristics: Workshop Proceedings

June 29, 2011

Author(s)

Amy E. Mensch, Nelson P. Bryner

The purpose of this workshop was to identify performance needs and establish research priorities to address the thermal characteristics of respiratory equipment used by emergency first responders. The workshop provided a forum for representatives from the

Characterizing Inward Leakage in a Pressure-Demand, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus

June 10, 2011

Author(s)

Rodney A. Bryant, Amy Mensch

An analytical model of the flow across a resistive flow path such as an orifice or pipe was applied to predict the inward leakage in the facepiece of a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) during a steady negative facepiece pressure. The model was
