Supplied Air

Supplied air (or air supplied) refers to respirators that provide the user with clean, breathable air from a self-contained source, such as a cylinder, or via an airline from a source outside the contaminated atmosphere. Supplied air respirators are used in atmospheres that are determined to be IDLH or Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health. These NFPA and/or NIOSH-approved respirators are used in a myriad of applications by firefighters, industrial workers, first responders, and military personnel.

SCBA
A self-contained breathing apparatus or SCBA is a device worn by rescue workers, firefighters, and others to provide portable, breathable air in a hostile, IDHL-environment. An SCBA can be either an open or closed circuit.
Airline
An airline respirator provides a continuous supply of air to the user via a hose connected to stationary source of breathable air. Some airline respirators also integrate a small cylinder of compressed air into the system for emergency escape from a dangerous environment in case the airline hose is blocked or severed.
Escape
Escape respirators are designed for use only to egress from hazardous atmospheres within 5, 10 or 15 minutes. Some escape respirators are used in conjunction with an airline to provide a small source of air in emergencies where an airline air source is severed.
