  2. Buoyancy compensator (diving) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buoyancy_compensator_(diving)

    The same depth change of 1 m upwards will increase the gas volume in the BC to 1.3/1.2 × 2.78 = 3.012 litres, a difference of 0.232 litres. Example 2: The same diver as in example 1 at 30 m depth at the beginning of the dive with 200 bar in the 12 litre cylinder has about 3.1 kg gas in the cylinder, requiring about 3.1 litres of gas in the BC ...

  3. Diving weighting system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_weighting_system

    The common 80 ft 3 (11 litre, 207 bar) cylinder carries about 6 pounds (2.7 kg) of air when full, so the diver should start the dive about 6 pounds (2.7 kg) negative and use about 1/10 ft 3 (2.7 L)of air in the BCD to compensate at the start of a dive.

    Underwater diving is practiced as part of an occupation, or for recreation, where the practitioner submerges below the surface of the water or other liquid for a period which may range between seconds to the order of a day at a time, either exposed to the ambient pressure or isolated by a pressure resistant suit, to interact with the underwater ...

  5. Diving equipment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_equipment

    Diving equipment, or underwater diving equipment, is equipment used by underwater divers to make diving activities possible, easier, safer and/or more comfortable. This may be equipment primarily intended for this purpose, or equipment intended for other purposes which is found to be suitable for diving use.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_scuba_diving

    Scuba diver of the late 1960s. The history of scuba diving is closely linked with the history of the equipment.By the turn of the twentieth century, two basic architectures for underwater breathing apparatus had been pioneered; open-circuit surface supplied equipment where the diver's exhaled gas is vented directly into the water, and closed-circuit breathing apparatus where the diver's carbon ...

  7. Timeline of diving technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_diving_technology

    The timeline of underwater diving technology is a chronological list of notable events in the history of the development of underwater diving equipment.With the partial exception of breath-hold diving, the development of underwater diving capacity, scope, and popularity, has been closely linked to available technology, and the physiological constraints of the underwater environment.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,2,3,4,6-Pentagalloyl_glucose

    Tellimagrandin II is formed from pentagalloyl glucose by oxidative dehydrogenation and coupling of 2 galloyl groups. β-glucogallin: 1,2,3,4,6-pentagalloyl-β-d-glucose galloyltransferase is an enzyme found in the leaves of Rhus typhina that catalyzes the galloylation of 1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-galloyl-β-D-glucose to 3-O-digalloyl-1,2,4,6-tetra-O ...

  9. Binary-coded decimal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary-coded_decimal

    For encoding digits 1 through 9, B and A are zero and the digit value represented by standard 4-bit BCD in bits 8 through 1. For most other characters bits B and A are derived simply from the "12", "11", and "0" "zone punches" in the punched card character code, and bits 8 through 1 from the 1 through 9 punches.
