Pressure demand respirator a positive pressure atmosphere-supplying respirator that admits – breathing air to the facepiece when the positive pressure is reduced inside the facepiece by inhalation. Qualitative fit test (QLFT) a pass/fail fit test to assess the adequacy of respirator fit that relies on – the individual's response to the test agent. Quantitative fit test (QNFT) an assessment of the adequacy of respirator fit by numerically – measuring the amount of leakage into the respirator. Respiratory inlet covering that portion of a respirator that forms the protective barrier between – the user's respiratory tract and an air-purifying device or breathing air source, or both. It may be a facepiece, helmet, hood, suit, or a mouthpiece respirator with nose clamp. Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) an atmosphere-supplying respirator for which the – breathing air source is designed to be carried by the user. the period of time that a respirator, filter or sorbent, or other respiratory equipment Service life – provides adequate protection to the wearer. Supplied-air respirator (SAR) or airline respirator an atmosphere-supplying respirator for which – the source of breathing air is not designed to be carried by the user. a respiratory inlet covering that forms a complete seal with the face.
