CEN-PAQ
2
Compressed air airlines used with
CEN-PAQ must be SCOTT products,
approved to EN 139.
Ensure that hoses used in an explosive
or inflammable atmosphere are marked
ANTI-STATIC – EN 139.
Cost effective PVC hoses may be used in
other atmospheres.
SCOTT manufacture a range of anti-
static and PVC hoses, in lengths ranging
from 15m to 60m. Customer Services
will be pleased to advise on price and
delivery.
1.4 APPARATUS DURATION
All durations quoted are nominal, based
on an Average Wearer Consumption
Rate of 40 litres/minute and FULLY
CHARGED cylinders. Actual Wearer
Consumption rates vary due to many
factors, such as:
1. Workload: high work rates increase
consumption rates.
2. Weight of apparatus and use of
heavy or restrictive clothing.
3. Work environments with extremes
of heat or cold.
4. Physical fitness of the wearer.
5. Other factors include emotional
stress and fatigue.
It is important that all wearers are aware
of these factors and take account of them
when assessing cylinder duration.
The Total Duration for the apparatus is
calculated to be 15 minutes for 200 bar
cylinders and 20 minutes for 300 bar
cylinders based on a free air capacity of
600 or 820 litres and an Average Wearer
Consumption Rate of 40 litres/minute.
The Warning Period is calculated to be 5
minutes based on a 68 bar whistle and a
3 litre cylinder.
The Nominal Duration for the apparatus
is therefore 10 or 15 minutes.

compressed air breathing apparatus must
