The mask must fit the wearer’s facial features to create a seal and provide protection. Respirators are available in a range of sizes to fit different facial dimensions. To ensure a good fit, face shape and size must be considered and, if possible, measured prior to selection.  \nFor your FREE face size guide contact your local sales office.  \n1  \nSIZE SELECTION GUIDE  \nSTEP  \nSTEP 1 FACE SIZE AND SHAPE  \nThe five headforms are derived from measured facial dimensions of human test subjects, and are used for designing  \nrespiratory protective equipment as well as helping with selection. Respirators are designed to fit specific size designations and are tested on the relevant headform size.  \nForce™ Size Guide is available to measure facial dimensions in order to check whether a Small (S), Medium (M), or Large (L) mask would provide the best fit.  \nThe Force™8 half mask and Force™10 Typhoon™ full face mask are available in Small (S), Medium (M), and Large (L) sizes to provide a great fit fora wide range of users. The Force™8 half mask is available in an additional size, Short-Wide (SW), which provides an alternative fit to Small (S) and Medium (M) masks. The Force™8 SW is designed to fit a different facial profile with a slightly wider nose bridge.  \n| 129-\u003Cbr>139mm | L | L | L |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 119-\u003Cbr>129mm | M | M | L |\n| 109-\u003Cbr>119mm | M | M | M |\n| 99-\u003Cbr>109mm | S | SW | M |\n|  | 120-\u003Cbr>133mm | 133-\u003Cbr>145mm | 145-\u003Cbr>160mm |\n\nRespirator sizes are based on dimensions given in international standard ISO 16976-2, Anthropometrics. Five headform sizes are described in the standard: Small, Short-Wide, Medium, Long-Narrow, and Large.  \nThe Small, Medium, and Large headforms are based on the same facial profile in different sizes, whereas the Short-Wide and Long-Narrow headforms use a different facial profile.  \nThis chart is a guide to selecting a size of mask, it is not definitive, correct face fit test methods should be used to ensure the suitability of the selected size for the individual wearer.","cbCaiuh2I1j1vsOW","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuh2I1j1vsOW","pdf",3190784,"English","# SIZE SELECTION GUIDE\n## STEP 1 FACE SIZE AND SHAPE\n## Notes and ISO 16976-2 reference","[{\"question\":\"Why are face size and shape important when selecting RPE?\",\"answer\":\"They ensure the respirator mask fits the wearer’s facial features to create a seal and provide protection.\"},{\"question\":\"How are headforms used in respirator selection?\",\"answer\":\"The five headforms are derived from measured facial dimensions and are used to design respiratory protective equipment and to test specific size designations.\"},{\"question\":\"Does the size chart guarantee the correct fit for every person?\",\"answer\":\"No. It is a guide only; correct face fit test methods must be used to confirm suitability for the individual wearer.\"}]","FACE SIZE AND SHAPE - Size Selection Guide | PDF",1791821723]
