Q

Whats the difference between a inverter line and hold back line on lifting bags operations?

A

The inverter line is in place to invert and spill the gas from the bag if there is a failure on any part of the rigging between the bag and the load and the bag breaks free and starts an uncontrolled ascent

The hold-back line is provided to restrain or hold-back the positive buoyancy of the lift bag. It should be attached in such a way as to prevent an uncontrolled ascent of the load being lifted.

17
Q

All underwater air lift bags (including small bags up to 50 kg WLL) should be fitted with a suitable manufactured attachment point for an inverter line.

True or False

A

True

From 1 of january of 2018

18
Q

What is the minimum factor of safety for an underwater air lift bag and the each webbing slings on its working load limit?

A

air lift bags is 5:1

each webbing slings is 7:1

19
Q

What type of material is used for O2 line systems by many contractors?

A

Tungum, This is a non-magnetic bronze copper alloy with non-sparking properties. IMCA endorses this policy as the safest, as well as the most convenient, way of proceeding.

20
Q

What material is used to operate oxygen lines above 40bar?

A

High-alloyed Cr-Ni steels with a content of Cr and Ni of together at least 22%.

Cr - Chromium
Ni - Nickel

21
Q

What is the minimum allowed content of Chromium and Nickel used in used in oxygen lines systems?

A

22%

Used to operate oxygen lines pressure above 40 bar.

22
Q

What is the most commom material used in O2 line systems by many contractors, endorsed by IMCA?

A

'’Tungum’’, is a non-magnetic bronze copper alloy with non-sparking properties.

23
Q

What is a ‘‘bomb test’’?

A

Tests are carried out to determine the compatibility of a material for use in oxygen-enriched or pure oxygen atmospheres at pre-designated pressures. A vast amount of information has been gathered on the compatibility of materials.

24
Q

What is the most commom visual test done to determining the oxygen cleanliness?

A

UV light @ (3600-3900 Angstrom)

All cleaned components should be clearly marked “CLEANED FOR OXYGEN
SERVICE”. Any components not marked should be cleaned prior to use.

25
Q

What is the minimum amount of cylinders it can be used in a portable diving systems?

A

At least 3 horizontally mounted cylinders, each with a minimum foldable volume of 46 litres and a working pressure of not less than 150bar (2175 psi). The cylinders must be manifolded through the dive control panel so that the diver and standby diver each have a dedicated supply. A third cylinder should be provided which can be switched on to either supply.
