Surface Supply Requirements
Attached are the new surface supply tables for all three types of KMDSI demand regulators. These tables are in the new revised surface supply requirements rewrite. The new tables are based on surface gauge pressure, RMV and depth. The pressure tables were developed primarily for the new European CE requirements that require 75 RMV. The new tables are based on heavy work rates of 40-75 RMV, and allow greater flexibility when using compressors. Note: There are separate tables for the (SuperFlow / SuperFlow 350), the SF-450 SS and Rex Regulator, as well as separate HP tables. The old pressure for depth formula and tables can still be used if desired. Remember, (Thou Shall Have Pressure).
The paper also gives some good information on simple flow testing of compressors, consoles, and umbilicals, as well as other supply requirements. If you have any questions please call or e-mail Dive Lab.
Reminder
Please don't hesitate to call or e-mail technical questions or problems. It is important to include e-mails to KMDSI as well. KMDSI is interested in any and all comments, problems and anything that can make it better for the user/maintainer.
Best wishes for a safe and prosperous new year.
Don't forget, on at the bottle, off at the side-block.
