Upthrust =
Volume x density
Density=
Mass/Volume
Atmospheric imperial ATA=
14.7psi 760mm of mercury mmHg
Atmospheric metric bar abs=
14.5psi 750mmHg mercury
Barometric pressure is?
Essentially same as atmospheric, but varying with weather and expressed in terms height column mercury
Gauge pressure is?
Starts at Zero when read on surface at atmospheric pressure
Absolute pressure is?
Total pressure exerted , gauge pressure plus atmospheric
Seawater m3 density
1030kg/m3
Fresh water density m3
1000kg/m3
3 types of Heat transfer
Conduction, main cause heat loss.
Convection
Radiation
Water conducts heat
24 more times more than air
Sound travels in water….
4 times faster than in air
Fahrenheit to absolute temp
Rankin = F + 460
Celsius to absolute temperature
Kelvin = Celsius + 273
Fahrenheit to C =
F -32/1.8
Celsius to Fahrenheit
C x 1.8 + 32
Normal diver consumption rate
35LPM/ 1.25ft3
Emergency consumption rate
40LPM/1.5ft3 min
Formula for finding absolute pressure metric measurements
Depth MSW/10+1
Formula for finding FGV WHEN FV is unknown
Vol full X Avail press
press full
FGV WHEN FV Known
FGV = PRESSURE X VOLUME
