Evaluation of the U.S. Divers KMB-10 Mask.

Abstract

The U.S. Divers KMB-10 Mask was tested by NEDU in accordance with MIL-R-24169A. Results of unmanned testing which evaluated breathing resistance, sideblock and umbilical pressure drop and breathing work showed that the mask meets mil spec requirements. The mask is not recommended for inclusion on the list of equipment authorized for Navy use because the U.S.N. currently has no requirement for this type of equipment in addition to its own USN MK 1 Mod 0 Mask.
