Preparation of Synthetic Blood
A.1 Reagents
Prepare 1L synthetic blood according to the following composition:
Carboxymethyl cellulose sodium [e.g., CMC-Sigma 9004-32-4 medium viscosity] 2g
Polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monolaurate {e.g., Tween-20[Fluka 9377]} 0.04g

Monopotassium phosphate (KH2PO4) 1.2g
Disodium hydrogen phosphate (Na2 HPO4) 4.3g
Distilled water or deionized water To 1L
Note 1: 2-Methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one hydrochloride (MIT) (0.5 g/L) may be added in the synthetic blood to extend the
storage period of the solution.
Note 2: Sigma 9004-32-4, Fluka 9377, Sigma 915-67-3 and Fluka 9377 are examples for applicable commercial products.
This information allows for the user of this Standard but not represents the recognition of those products.
A.2 Preparation
Make carboxymethyl cellulose sodium dissolved in 0.5 L water and make them mixed
completely with a magnetic stirrer for 60min.
Use a small beaker to weigh Tween 20 and make it completely mixed with water.
Add the Tween 20 solution in the carboxymethyl cellulose sodium solution. The beaker
shall be cleaned with distilled water for several times and the water used shall be incorporated
in the former solution.
Make NaCl dissolved in the solution. Make KH2PO4 and Na2HPO4 dissolved in the
solution.
Add MIT (if applied) and amaranth dye.
Dilute the solution with water to approximately 1000mL.
Regulate the synthetic blood to pH 7.3 ± 0.1 and scale to 1000mL with phosphate buffer.
As the surface tension of synthetic blood is measured in compliance with GB/T
5549-1990, the result shall be 0.042N/m±0.002N/m.
Appendix B (Normative)
Fitness Test Method
B.1 Test environment
The test space size shall allow for the testee to perform specified testing actions freely.
The number of particles in air shall not be less than 70×106 particles/m3If the number of
particles is too small, an aerosol generator may be adopted to increase the particles in
environment and as for the particles from the aerosol generator, the count median diameter
(CMD) is about 0.04μm and geometric standard deviation is about 2.2 (equivalent to 0.26μm
in mass median aerodynamics diameter (MMAD)). If sodium chloride aerosol is used, the
relative humidity of air shall not be greater than 50%.
B.2 Installing mask sampling tube
Puncture at the location "respiratory area", near to the wearer's mouth and nose, to install
a sampling tube. The sampling tube shall be mounted on the neck support device of testee to
reduce the interference to the mask in the test process.
B.3 Test procedure
Select 10 testees with men and women in fifty-fifty percent respectively. Their
headforms shall be in compliance with the Chinese headform series of GB/T 2428-1998. For
male, their beard shall be shaved. Wear the mask according to the instructions for use. Before
testing, inspection for moving of mask, over-looseness or over-tightness of mask harness,
fitness of nasal splint for nose bridge and leakage from mask periphery shall be carried out.
No readjustment is allowed in the test process. The testees are required to perform the
following 6 actions, each of which shall last for 1min:
a) Normal respiration——keep standing, normal respiration speed and speechless.
b) Deep breathing ——keep standing, take a deep breath gradually, do not exhale
excessively.
c) Turning left and right——keep standing, turn head to one side until to the extreme
position and then turn to the other side. At each extreme position, inspiration shall be
performed.
d) Turning up and down——head down slowly and then up slowly. At the upper
extreme position, inspiration shall be performed.
e) Speaking ——speak loudly and slowly. Ask the testees to count down from 100 or
read an article.
f) Normal respiration ——see a).
B.4 Calculating fit factor
B.4.1 The fit factor of each action is calculated from the ratio of the mean concentration of
particles outside the mask to that inside the mask, which is determined through calculation.
B.4.2 The mean concentration of particles outside the mask may adopt the arithmetic mean of
the before-and after-test (6 actions) concentrations or the mean concentration before and after
each action, or the actual mean of continuous measurement.
B.4.3 The concentration of particles inside the mask shall be calculated as follows:
a) Mean peak penetration method: use recorder, integrator or computer to determine the
number of particles that passed through the mask. In each action, work out the mean peak
height from the recording paper or integrate with computer to determine the number of
particles. Selectively, use an integrator or computer to work out the actual number of particles
that passed through the mask.
b) Maximum peak penetration method: use banding recorder to determine the number
of particles that pass through the mask. The peak of each required action represents the mean
number of particles that passed through the mask for the action.
c) Area integration method: integrate the area of the peak of each action. It includes
computer integration.
d) Overall fit factor calculation: convert the fit factors of each action to penetration
values and work out their mean which is then reconverted to fit factor, as detailed in Formula
(B.1).
