According to the material of the gas cylinder, it can be divided into steel cylinder long tube respirator and carbon fiber cylinder long tube respirator; According to the style of the trolley, it can be divided into horizontal trolley long tube respirator and vertical trolley long tube respirator; According to the number of gas cylinders, it can be divided into two cylinder cart type long tube respirators and four cylinder cart type long tube respirators.
Nowadays, there are many models of long tube respirators on the market, and each model has its own usage method, but overall they are still similar. When using a long tube respirator, it is important to follow the precautions to avoid potential malfunctions and serious safety accidents.
The precautions are as follows:
When using a long tube respirator, be sure to take out a specialized harness and adjust the belt and harness according to your own body shape, so that it can be more comfortable to wear. The main purpose of doing this is to ensure that the lumbar valve and escape bottle are well secured. Of course, when wearing it, do not hinder the movement of hands and feet.
Afterwards, the socket on the mobile gas supply pipe should be plugged into the quick plug of the waist valve from bottom to top, and the plugs for the face mask and gas supply valve should also be plugged into the waist valve. Of course, you can also plug in the plug first and then wear the strap. After fully wearing it, you can turn on the mobile gas source and put on the breathing mask. Once you can breathe freely, you can enter the work site.
Some long tube respirators can also be used by two or more people. When multiple people are using it at the same time, it is necessary to wait until all of them are ready and undergo a full body examination, mainly to check if all of them are wearing it properly and if the equipment is faulty or damaged. Only after wearing it properly and checking it is intact can one enter the work site. Maintain a certain distance when entering, and multiple people need to find a direction to prevent accidents caused by pulling and pulling on the gas supply pipe.
It can be said that these usage methods are definitely well understood by those who use them, but some people may end up causing a big disaster due to carelessness, which is definitely something that many people do not want to see. So we must carefully inspect it during use before officially entering the work site for work.
