How to Check the Fit of Your Sundström Half Mask
Using a respirator, like the one made by Sundström, is an important part of staying safe in environments with airborne pollutants. However, to ensure the mask works effectively, it must fit properly. If you’re searching for ways to check the fit of your half mask, this guide will help you through the process step by step. Why Fit Matters
A proper fit ensures that the half mask can effectively protect you from hazardous substances in the air, such as particles, gases, and vapors. If the mask doesn’t fit well, it can allow harmful particles to enter, making its use unsafe. Steps to Check the Fit of Your Sundström Half Mask
- Prepare for Fit Testing
Before starting with the fit check, ensure that:
The mask is clean and has no visible damage or wear. You’ve chosen the correct size for your face (small, medium, or large). You are not wearing any accessories like glasses or ear protection that can interfere with the fit. 2. Don the Mask
Place the mask on your face. Adjust the head harness for a snug fit, ensuring no gaps exist between your face and the mask. Wiggle the respirator gently to settle it in place comfortably. 3.

Perform the Fit Check
One of the simplest methods to test the fit is to perform a negative pressure fit check:
Seal Check: Place the palm of your hand lightly over the hole on the pre-filter holder to create a seal. Inhale Deeply: Breathe in deeply and hold your breath for about 10 seconds. Proper Fit: If the mask is tight against your face, you have a good fit. Bad Fit Detection: If you feel air entering around the edges, it means there is leakage and the mask does not fit properly. 4. Troubleshooting Fit Issues
If you detect any leakage, follow these steps:
Check Components: Inspect the exhalation membranes, exhalation valves, and gasket for any damage or dirt. Adjust the Straps: Ensure that the harness straps are adjusted for a tighter fit. Size Matters: If the fit is still poor, consider trying a different mask size. 5. Regular Fit Checks
Make it a habit to check the fit of your mask before each use, especially if it hasn’t been worn for a while. Conclusion
Checking the fit of your Sundström half mask is crucial for optimal protection. By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your mask fits properly and helps keep you safe from harmful airborne pollutants.
