DEF

The small, detachable part of an air-purifying respirator which is designed to adsorb gases and vapours from the air.

CONT

Chemical Cartridge and Canister (gas mask) Respirators. ... The basic difference between a cartridge and a canister is the volume of sorbent it contains. The sorbent volume of a cartridge is small and its useful life is short, especially in areas of high gas or vapour concentration. These cartridges are limited to low concentrations and short exposure periods. However, canisters have more sorbent and can be used at higher gas concentrations or for extended periods under lower gas concentrations.

OBS

See also "canister".

DEF

Cartouche métallique qui contient des matières absorbantes [et dont la] face extérieure est percée de trous par où l'air vicié passe, traversant la cartouche et se purifiant.

OBS

La boîte filtrante (ou bidon, réservoir, en anglais : «canister») est plus grosse que la cartouche et elle est reliée à la pièce faciale par un tube (et non fixée à cette dernière, ce qui est le cas de la cartouche).
