NOTE
The values given apply to class I filter glass For class II filter lenses, the transmittances and tolerances are the
same with the additional requirement that the transmittance of 589 3 millimicrons shall not exceed 15 per cent of the luminous transmittance Some of the headings in this table have been changed to conform with N8S Letter

DICHROIC coated glass plate (coating faces
chemicals may be provided in a variety of ways, depending upon the hazard Good protection is given by a hood made of chemi cal-resistant material with a glass or plasbc window (Fig 19-20) In all cases, there should be a secure joint between the window and the hood materials
Hoods are extremely hot to wear, and can be obtained with air lines for the wearer's comfort When a hood is so supplied, the wearer should have a harness or belt like that on an air line respirator (see Fig 19-30 and -31) for support of the hose A device based on a vortex principle has been developed to provide temperature-conditioned air (See Fig 19-36)
If protection is necessary only from limited direct splashes, the wearer can don a face
