How does TSI PortaCount work?
The Portacount works by measuring the concentration of microscopic dust particles in the ambient air and then measuring the concentration of those dust particles that leak into the respirator. The ratio of these two concentrations is called the fit factor.

What is Portacount testing?
The TSI Portacount is the most widely used and trusted Quantitative Fit Test method. The Portacount provides a direct assessment of respirator fit by comparing the concentration of ambient dust particles outside the facepiece to the concentration of particles that have leaked into the facepiece.
How does PortaCount fit testing work?
It uses the microscopic particles that exist in ambient air to measure the fit factor directly. The PORTACOUNT measures the concentration of these par- ticles around the person’s head and then measures the concentration of those particles that leak into the respirator. The ratio of these two numbers is the fit factor.

What is respirator fit factor?
Fit factor means a quantitative estimate of the fit of a particular respirator to a specific individual, and typi- cally estimates the ratio of the concentration of a substance in ambient air to its concentration inside the respirator when worn.
