specified by the manufacturer;
f) Type NO: prevention against nitrogen oxide;
g) Type Hg: prevention against mercury vapor;
h) Type CO: prevention against carbonic oxide gas;
i) Type AX: prevention against certain organic vapor with boiling point not higher than
65℃ as specified by the manufacturer;
j) Type SX: prevention against certain special compound specified by the
manufacturer;
k) Any combination of the above types.
4.2.2 Labelling and tinting of filter elements
Filter efficiency of particle filter element and combination filter element against particles is
classified into two grades: 95.00% and 99.97%, respectively corresponding to labels of
P95 and P100. Gas and/or vapor filter elements of Types A, B, E and K are classified into
three grades according to protective capacity: Grade 1 represents low protective capacity,
Grade 2 represents moderate protective capacity, and Grade 3 represents high protective
capacity; gas and/or vapor filter elements of other Types (e.g. SX, CO, AX, NO, etc.) are
not graded. The classification method of Types A, B, E and K in combination filter
elements is the same as the grading method of separate protective filter elements; see the
last row of the labelling example in Table 2. See Table 2 for labelling, tinting and prevented
pollutant examples of various filter elements of PAPR.
