40C to Fahrenheit
= (9/5 x C) + 32
= (1.8 x 40) + 32
= 104 Fahrenheit

Healthy Reminders
25% is 25/100 or 0.25
250ppm is 250/1,000,000 or 0.00025
ppm to decimal move it back 6 places
ppm to % move it back 4 places
400ppm is 0.0004
650ppm is 0.065%
Fun Fact
*useless info
Gas reclaim systems have an average loss of 5 liters/min
Normal gas consumption at 140m
35lpm x 15b
=525liters or 0.525m3
Normal gas consumption at 120fsw
120/33 +1= 4.64ata
1.25ft3/min x 4.64 =
= 5.8ft3/min
64bottle quad charges to 200bar, 50L cylinders.
How much gas is available?
64 x 50 x 200 = 640,000L
=640m3
Note: total volume don’t mean shit, available gas does
Re: a quad charged to 200bar
- you still need to overcome bottom pressure, ex 140m dive requires 15bar
- still need 10bar to drive the reg
-plus a safety factor
Looking at changing quads around 40bar.
You can go lower with shallow surface dives
16 x 50L quad charged to 180bar
To be changed over at 40bar
Diver is working at 100msw
How long can the Diver work for?
180bar - 40bar =140bar
140bar x 50L x 16 = 112,000L
Diver 35Lpm x 11 = 385Lpm
112,000/385 = 290.9
290.9/60 = 4.85
0.85 x 60 = 51min
4hrs 51min
Imperial
A quad contains 22,400ft3 @ 3000psi
Gauge now reads 2400psi, change the quad over at 500psi.
How much gas is available?
FGV= vol when full x (available pressure/pressure when full)
22,400 x (1900/3000)
22,400 x 0.63
=14,186.7 ft3
Or
22,400 / 3000 x 1,900
Suitable compressor?
-LP comp supplies 8ft3/min @250psi
-2divers @ 80fsw
Pressure Required:
80fsw/33+1= 3.42ata
+10ata for reg
=13.42ata
13.42ata x 14.7psi
=197.27psi (All Good)
Volume Required
3.42ata x 1.25ft3 x 2divers = 8.56ft3/min
(No Joy)
Compressor can’t supply enough volume
Bailout endurance
Diver working at 180msw and has a 12L bottle charged to 180bar
How long will it last in an emergency?
40Lpm metric 1.5ft3 imperial
2180bar -10reg -19bar depth = 151bar available
151bar x 12L = 1812L
19 x 40Lpm = 760Lpm
1812/760 = 2.38 (0.38x60)=22.8
=2min 23secs
What is the breathing rate for BIBS?
Imp and metric
0.7ft3/min
20L/min
In sat you should have enough gas to provide 4hrs breathing on BIBS per Diver for each mix.
