Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Ambient / 1ATM Q?

Hi, Bill - yeah.  I put that in my reply to Ross.  Looking over my reply I realise that in order to identify the free flowing reg all I'd have to do is run my hand in front of the reg bank - if I could reach it.

Hi Ross.

 

That problem would not occur as long as Rick positioned a quick shut off valve on the mouthpiece end of each reg,

if there was a problem he could simply shut off the flow of air or water from each reg if it free flowed or if the rubber diaphram broke.

That is what I would do. That is your plan right Rick?

Aloha everyone,

 

I've been following what Rick and Joe and Bill are saying.  It sounds like the whole submarine depends on that little rubber diaphragm inside a regulator.  If it breaks or if the regulator starts to free flow, couldn't you be in big trouble?
