Civilian gas mask model 5

Civilian gas mask model 5 or GP-5 is a filtering agent for personal protection of the respiratory organs, eyes and skin of the human face.

Model 5 is designed to protect against the ingress of poisonous, radioactive substances and bacterial (biological) agents into the respiratory organs, eyes and face of a person.

Description and details:

The front part of the GP-5 ensures the supply of air purified in the filter-absorbing box to the respiratory organs and protects the eyes face from getting poisonous, radioactive substances and bacterial (biological) agents, as well as dust, smoke and fog.

The front part consists of a rubber body (helmet-mask) with fairings and a spectacle assembly with round flat glasses, a valve box with inhalation and exhalation valves. It is completed with one-sided films that prevent fogging of glasses of the spectacle unit, it can also be equipped with insulating cuffs that prevent freezing of glasses of the spectacle unit at negative temperaturesX.

The rubber of the front parts was produced in 5 sizes:

0 (0y), 1 (1y), 2 (2y), 3 (3y), 4 (4y).

The letter "y" in a circle next to the number indicating the size of the helmet-mask means that this mask has thinner rubber, which is typical for later batches. The size is indicated by a number on the chin part of the helmet mask. To select the required height of the helmet-mask, you need to measure the head along a closed line passing through the top of the head, cheeks and chin. Measurements are rounded up to 0.5 cm. With a measurement value of up to 63 cm - 0 height,from 63.5 to 65.5 cm - 1 height, from 66 to 68 cm - 2 height, from 68.5 to 70.5 cm - 3 height, from 71 cm and more - 4 height. On the rubber, helmet-masks are also molded one under the other markings: the first letter of the city of production and the year, followed by dots indicating the quarter of the year, and the mold number.

There is a valve box of the front part for the distribution of inhaled and exhaled air flows. Inside the valve box there are inhalation and two exhalation valves (main and additional). It has a standard 40/4 thread and does not initially have a corrugated tube.

Filtering and absorbing box

The body of the FPC (Filtering and Absorbing Box) is made of aluminium. In its lower half there is an anti-aerosol filter, and in the upper half there is an absorber (activated carbon). On the lid of the box there is a screwed neck with a standard 40/4 thread for attaching the FPC to the front of the gas mask, and in the bottom there is a round hole through which the inhaled air enters.

The gas mask bag is used to store and carry the gas mask. Gas mask bag withIt is equipped with a shoulder strap with movable buckles for wearing a gas mask over the shoulder and a strap for fixing the gas mask on the body. The bag has two pockets.
