Gauging DOT 3AL3000 SCUBA cylinder neck threads
In response to requests for clarification, from members in the Far East and Australasia, the following guidance is issued for SCUBA cylinders and valves that utilise the ¾" NPSM thread form.
ASSET recommends that technicians, involved in the assembly and maintenance of SCUBA cylinders and their valves, use the appropriate, calibrated, thread gauges as a means to ensure that they are both within tolerances and compatible with each other. Additionally, the technician should have received training in their use, as provided in the ASSET Dive Industry Technician’s and Cylinder Tester’s Courses and Manuals.
How to Avoid Isobaric Counter diffusion hits during trimix decompression
Isobaric Counter Diffusion triggered by breathing gas changes is predominantly a problem when carrying out Trimix dives that are deep enough and long enough to generate formal decompression stops that require the use of a hypoxic Trimix. An analysis program embodying these concepts to identify known unsafe ICD gas switching practices and unsafe decompression is made available
Decompression trends for extreme dive planning
Deriving the underlying laws and predictive mathematics for diving physiology, safe decompression, Oxygen toxicity tolerance, narcosis, and HPNS (High Pressure Nervous Syndrome) have challenged the minds of the worlds brightest scientists. That many of the victims of incorrect decompression fail to survive extreme decompression and be part of the observable phenomenon database further hampers progress. As a first topic in this series of articles we will take a more in depth look at decompression and how to survice it's more extreme effects.
