The Sundstrom P3 Particle filter SR 510 P3R is a mechanical filter with extremely low inhalation resistance. The SR 510 protects against all types of particles (dust, fume, fog, spray, asbestos), even bacteria, viruses, and radioactive pollution & can be combined with other Sundström filter respirator products for combinations filter protection. CODE H02-1312 :
The Sundstrom P3 filter is one of the vast range of SR200 & SR100 filters available providing protection against all types of particles (dust, fume, fog, spray, asbestos), bacteria, viruses as well as radioactive pollution.
The Sundstrom SR510 P3 particulate filter is termed a mechanical filter benefitting from an extremely low inhalation resistance.
Sundstrom Particle Filter SR510 benefits:
Sundstrom SR510 P3 Particulate Filter (CODE H02-1312)Safety Standards:
R "Reusable" - the Sundstrom P3 filter can be used for more than one shift.

The SR510 filters are EN 143:2000 P3 R >99.997% standard and for the powered air units also achieve the safety standard EN 12941:1998 TH3 SL R & EN 12942 TM3P SL R.
The Sundstrom P3 filter has a filter efficiency of at least 99.997% with an inward leakage of only 0.003%.
This Sundstrom SR100 filter will provide 99.997% protection from particulates & viruses such as the coronavirus which is only 0.1-0.5 microns in size. Particulates less than 4 microns can potentially cause the greatest harm as they can penetrate deep into the lungs. Examples of particles less than 4 microns are Coronavirus 0.1-0.5 microns, Wildfire smoke < 0.4-0.7 microns, Bacterium 1-3 microns, dust particles < 2.5 microns. Respiratory droplets, whilst between 5-10 microns in size have the potential to carry far smaller particles such as dust, bacteria & Covid 19. The SR510 will also protect against larger particles such as cement dust <10 microns & pollen which can be upto 15 microns in size.
The filter needs to be changed when breathing resistance is encountered (ie ir becomes harder to breath)
The SR P3 filter has a shelf life of 10 years when unopened. The shelf-life dates are shown on the filters.
Organic fume Filters are graded depending on the concentration of contaminant. Class 1 is up to 1000ppm, Class 2 is up to 5000 ppm & class 3 up to 10,000 ppm.
Combination filters ie mask filters that act as both fume filters & particulate filters protect against both gases/vapours and particulates must meet the relevant standards for each element.
The length of the service life of the mask filter is dependent on a number of factors:
Particulate filters are classified according to the level of filtering efficiency & protection that they provide.
The filters will be either be P1 (Low filter efficiency), P2 (Medium filter efficiency) or P3 (High filter efficiency & protection.
P filters can be used to provide filter protection from both solid particles as well as fine mists and sprays. The size of particulate that is filtered will range from a particle size of 5 microns for a P1 down to as low as 0.3 microns for a P3 filter. (High level protection)
Any particles or fibres are held within the filter as well as the fine sprays or mist generated from aerosol procedures.
Depending on the P filter selected, the hazardous particulates may include:
Liquid sprays & mists that P filters protect against include:
P3 levels are the highest rated level of P filter and is used in conjunction with either a Half Mask or Full Face Mask for protection against highly toxic or irritant particulates, vapours & viruses. P3 filters
An APF protection level of 20 APF when used with a Half Mask & 40 APF when the P3 filter is used with a Full Face Mask.
Particulate filters should be changed when breathing resistance becomes difficult (ie breathing resistance created through the blocking of the filter)
P3 filters should be changed when breathing resistance is encountered. This is dependent on the level of contaminant encountered.
Gas / vapours / fume filters should be changed as soon as “smell breakthrough” occurs (ie safe levels of contaminant smelt/tasted)
N.B for substances with no smell or taste i.e low warning properties supplied air respirators should be used rather than masks & filters since any “smell breakthrough” cannot be detected. i.e isocyanates.
An AX Filter type is required providing protection from gase & vapours from organic compounds boiling point <65 degrees.
An organic fume filter cartridge Type A organic filter providing protection from gases & vapours from organic compounds, boiling point >65 degrees. (Use in combination with a P filter (Particulate filter)
A filter Type B protection is required. A filter including Type B will provide protection against inorganic gases & vapours & acid gases. (For example, Chlorine, hydrogen sulphide & hydrocyanic acid.
Should be used in combination with a P mask filter (Particulate filter) -ABE-P filter.
Acid gases are released which require adequate RPE to be worn. An ABE-P (Ie gas & fume filter) is required to protect against acid gases and fumes to include Sulphur Dioxide & Hydrogen Chloride.
The filter including K will protect against Ammonia & organic ammonia derivatives. If powdered fertiliser is used or vapours are created the mask filter should also be used with a P Filter. (P3 filter)
The filter CO will protect against carbon monoxide. These are used with escape hoods to protect against gase during fires or for handling hydrogen peroxide.
A filter containing HG will protect against mercury vapour. This must be included with P filter to protect against chemicals Ie ABEKHGP3 filter.
A P filter is required to protect against dusts. A P3 filter is required to protect against very fine dusts & to provide protection against viruses.
