 Checking the Set
(Pemeriksaan Peralatan)

 Straps loose  Kendorkan sabuk dan

karet pengikat pada muka
& kepala
 Negative mode check  Periksa katup negatif

 High pressure test  Periksa tekanan tinggi/

tabung
 Set off audible whistle  Periksa tanda udara
minim (suling)
 Calculating Work Duration

Capacity in Liters X Pressure in Bar =

Contents in Liters
Kapasitas dalam satuan Liter X Tekanan Kerja
dalam satuan Bar = Isi dalam satuan Liter

Example:
Drager PA 90 with a cylinder draged to 300 Bar
Contents = Capacity X Pressure
= 6 X 300
= 1800 Liters
 Full Duration
(Durasi Secara Penuh)

Full = Cylinder Contents in Liters .

Duration
Average rate of consumption
= 1800 Liters
40
Durasi Penuh == 45
Isi minutes
Tabung Dalam Liter
Konsumsi Rata-Rata
= 1800 Liters
40
= 45 menit
Full Duration
Is the time a SCBA set is expected to last
from the moment it is put on unit the cylinder
is exhausted of air (completely empty).

Durasi Penuh
Adalah waktu dari saat SCBA diisi dan dipakai
hingga habisnya seluruh udara dari tabung.
Working Duration
Is the time the SCBA is expected to last
from the time it is put on until the cylinder
pressure is reached at which time the low
cylinder pressure warning device (the
whistle) starts to operate.
Durasi Pemakaian
Adalah waktu dari saat SCBA diperiksa sebelum
dipakai hingga isi tabung mencapai waktu isi
tekanan rabung terendah dengan ditandai suling
mulai bekerja
Safety Margin
Is the time from the moment the whistle starts to
sound until the cylinder is exhausted
Batas Keamanan
Adalah waktu dari tanda bunyi peringatan udara minim
hingga isi udara tabung benar-benar habis

Example:
Working Duration = Full Duration – Safety Margin
= 45 minutes – 10 minutes
= 35 minutes

TYPE OF WORK / WORK LOAD CATEGORY

 Light Work : E.g. sitting or standing to control machines,

performing light hand or arm work
(Contoh: duduk atau tegak untuk memantau
mesin, melakukan gerakan)
 Moderate : E.g. working about with moderate lifting and
Work pushing
(Contoh: berjalan dengan mengangkat atau
mendorong)
 Heavy : E.g. Pick and shovel work
Work (Contoh: Mendongkrak dan memacul)
