Abstract:

The military specifications for open circuit SCUBA regulators provide a mechanism by which commercial vendors may submit their regulators to the Navy Experimental Diving Unit for testing for possible approval for U. S. Navy use. Accordingly, two SCUBA PRO single hose regulators, Models MARK I AND MARK V, were tested in December 1969. The inhalation resistance of the regulators was found under certain conditions to exceed the limits specified for single hose regulators in Mil-R-24169A. The regulators were, therefore, disapproved for U. S. Navy use. Author
