Testing Procedures for Closed-Circuit and Semi-Closed Circuit Underwater Breathing Apparatus

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to outline the general procedures and equipment to be used by EDU personnel in the evaluation of semi-closed circuit underwater breathing apparatus. It is intended as a detailed guide with which the project engineer can plan the evaluation of the apparatus to be tested. The quantities to be measures and controlled are specified for each type of test. The basic test equipment required is outlined along with the considerations governing its set-up, calibration and use. Typical test conditions and data handling requirements are also outlined for each type of test.
