Respirator Fit Test (Quantitative)
Rather than depending on your perception of taste, smell, or irritation, quantitative fit testing will employ a device to actually measure the amount of leakage into the respirator. During the fit test, the worker will either utilize an adapter that is connected to the device(s) via a hose or wear a respirator with a probe attached. Any kind of tight-fitting respirator can be fitted using this kind of test.
