Rated airflow indicator for 3M Powerflow PAPR

3M Graduated Airflow Meter for Powerflow Systems

3M manufacturer’s code: 520-01-21

This 3M airflow meter allows for quick and accurate verification of airflow in powered air-purifying respiratory protection system Powerflow. It ensures proper device operation and compliance with safety standards in contaminated environments. These accessory measures airflow and guarantee adequate ventilation, essential for safety in the presence of asbestos or industrial contaminants, thereby ensuring optimal respiratory protection. If the ball indicator falls below 4 CFM (4 ft.3/min), it means the filter has reached its saturation limit or there may be a malfunction in progress. Sold individually.

Compatible with masks:

• (R6700PF)
• (R6800PF)
• (R6900PF)
