Unmanned Testing of Proposed Modifications to the MK 20 UBA Using 300 Feet of Gates 3/8 Inch ID Diver's Umbilical

Abstract

Prior to arriving at a final configuration of the MK 20 UBA mask- umbilical system, several prototype mask-hose adaptor systems were evaluated for performance characteristics, reliability, construction strength, and human factors. While the performance characteristics of several of the better systems did not vary widely, it was found that the Aqua-Air design was superior in many respects. The Aqua-Air type adaptor configuration was therefore recommended for use with the AGA full face mask/AGA-Diveator II regulator and 300 foot 3/8 inch ID umbilical. Keywords: Full face mask, Mask umbilical system.
