How long do Gas Mask filters last?

Information on how long Gas Mask/Respirator filters last.
Gas mask filters are often given best before/expiry dates of about 5-15 years depending on the filter. Filters will last longer than this when sealed properly but the amount of time is unknown.
Once a filter is open depending on what the filter medium is exposed to will affect how long the filter lasts.
The size of the filter will also make a big difference, Russian EO-14, and EO-16 canister/coffee can filters will last far longer than compact filters designed to be light-weight and mount to the side of a gas mask.
The internal components of a filter will affect the lifespan as well, for example, a filter with a chromium layer will last longer than a filter without chromium that relies on activated charcoal alone.
Lastly, particulate filters have an independent lifespan from carbon inside the filters.

Hopefully they last longer than the 5 minutes in Metro 2033

@Weaponsandstuff93 6 лет назад

They do

@daxter8792 4 года назад

If you buy a filter in the game(which most don't do since you get enough filters it shouldn't be an issue) they last a lot longer, like a half hour. The idea being your filters, being scavenged, are almost done already. Still a bit silly though since they'd be bad by sitting open in a contaminated environment.

@jerrylancaster256 7 лет назад

Adsorption is the adhesion of molecules of gas, liquid, or dissolved solids to a surface. This process creates a film of the adsorbate (the molecules or atoms being accumulated) on the surface of the adsorbent. It differs from absorption, in which a fluid permeates or is dissolved by a liquid or solid.

@confedboia5820 6 лет назад

I recently found this channel and it has been very informative. One question I have is on Russian GP5 filters, and how long those last.

@Weaponsandstuff93 6 лет назад

Cheers, I would highly advise against using a GP-5 filter, all are long since officially expired, so no guarantee they will work at all or for how long, and they contain asbestos, so it's actually a health risk to use them.

I did a video specifically for people in Hawaii regarding the eruption there, so I'd advise watching that video, you need a sulphur dioxide filter as well as a particle filter.

@random12fps72 6 лет назад

Well in a life or death situation you should use a sealed filter. My filters were made in 2004, so they should last around 20 years.

Depends on the brand of the filter, some are only rated 5 or 10 years from manufacture date.

@derpanzermensch7776 7 лет назад

I have a few questions. Question 1: Can any modern Russian filter work well with any GOST threaded mask ( as long as it's the right size of course )? Question 2: Since it's not really possible to know exactly how long a filter will last in action, what signs will let you know that it's failing and you need to swap it out? Question 3: Are there any modern versions of the larger filters that are safe to use? Question 4: Can you recommend a cheap filter I can use with my gp-5 for Halloween?

@Weaponsandstuff93 7 лет назад

1. Yes as long as you don't get a proprietary filter, all modern Russian filters are GOST threads. 2. If you detect odour through the filter, the activated charcoal layer is failing, if it's hard to breathe through the filter, the particulate layer has clogged up. 3. Not as far as I'm aware. 4. Any NATO filter will work if you force it on, won't make an air-tight seal but is fine cosmetically, you might ruin the filter port doing that though.

The smart way might be buying an adapter to 3m filters. Much cheaper and readily available.

Angelo Frisone Activated charcoal is black. If the filter is leaking anything it isn't safe. Perhaps it is manufacturing residue.

I own a gp-5 so I am guessing is the fitting is 40mm gost thread, I thinking of replacing the old filter(I will still keep it for completing the set and for the appeal) judging by the manufacturer date which is 1981 it has a high chance of containing asbestos which should be harmless as long I keep it sealed

@mtfoxtrot5296 6 лет назад

This may be a dumb question (and yes I am late to the party) but where do you normally find your gasmask filters and what would a fair price would be for a full protection CBRN filter? I've looked around online (amazon & ebay) and have only found sparse and expensive results: the stuff I found was simply in low quantity and had pretty steep prices. I suppose you could say I'm looking for a good, trustworthy source to buy these CBRN or even Level 3 particulate filters.

@Weaponsandstuff93 6 лет назад

P3 filters often turn up on Amazon new for about £6, otherwise seard RD40 filter, ABEK filter, or CBRN filter. You just have to be sensible when looking at price VS expiration date.

Only against particulates

@killdude26 7 лет назад

So. Chromium, as long as it's in good condition. Is actually more useful than plain charcoal and particulate filters? I thought it was to be avoided like the plague (C2 filters for example). But, if the filters in proper condition, would it be better to place trust in say (C2A1/Non Chromium filters) or a (C2/Chromium Filter) during a "Fallout/CBRN attack".

@Weaponsandstuff93 7 лет назад

Newer filters are always better, but nearly every modern filter contains chromium, people who spout the chromium is dangerous rumour are idiots because they have not done their own research into how filters are made and amounts of exposure/risk etc. For further reading www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&ved=0ahUKEwiezsqo4NLVAhVBLcAKHR32AmYQFggzMAI&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dtic.mil%2Fget-tr-doc%2Fpdf%3FAD%3DADA325213&usg=AFQjCNFoIhXaGU3aPg2akkG4yEXYJ-6OXw

Hey guys I have a question. I bought a gas mask which I only want to use as a.. mask. Like for helloween or something. My questions are when is the filter activated? When you remove the seal cap at the bottom? What happens when I open to top cap? Basically I just want to use it as decoration on my face and not use the actual filter (while still being on the mask). My idea is to remove the rubber on the exhale holes so I can breathe in also through it. Does wearing the filter hide any dangers?

Just attach a safe filter to the mask rather than destroy a mask by ripping the exhale valves out.
