  2. Gas blending for scuba diving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_blending_for_scuba_diving

    The compressor and particularly the compressor oil, must be suitable for this service. If the oxygen fraction is less than 40%, some countries do not require the cylinder and valve to be cleaned for oxygen service. Mixing by mass fraction: oxygen is added to a partially full cylinder that is accurately weighed until the required mix is achieved.

  3. Pony bottle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pony_bottle

    A pony bottle or pony cylinder is a small diving cylinder which is fitted with an independent regulator, and is usually carried by a scuba diver as an auxiliary scuba set.In an emergency, such as depletion of the diver's main air supply, it can be used as an alternative air source or bailout bottle to allow a normal ascent in place of a controlled emergency swimming ascent.

  4. Diving cylinder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_cylinder

    "Scuba tank" or "diving tank" is more often used colloquially by non-professionals and native speakers of American English. The term "oxygen tank" is commonly used by non-divers; however, this is a misnomer since these cylinders typically contain (compressed atmospheric) breathing air, or an oxygen-enriched air mix.

  5. Trimix (breathing gas) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trimix_(breathing_gas)

    Partial pressure blending is done by decanting oxygen and helium into the diving cylinder and then topping up the mix with air from a diving air compressor. To ensure an accurate mix, after each helium and oxygen transfer, the mix is allowed to cool, its pressure is measured and further gas is decanted until the correct pressure is achieved ...

  6. Decompression equipment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decompression_equipment

    Decompression may be shortened ("accelerated") by breathing an oxygen-rich "decompression gas" such as a nitrox blend or pure oxygen. The high partial pressure of oxygen in such decompression mixes produces the effect known as the oxygen window. [1] This decompression gas is often carried by scuba divers in side-slung cylinders.

  7. Underwater breathing apparatus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_breathing_apparatus

    Underwater breathing apparatus can be classified as open circuit, semi-closed circuit, (including gas extenders) or closed circuit (including reclaim systems), based on whether any of the exhaled gas is recycled, and as self-contained or remotely supplied (usually surface-supplied, but also possibly from a lock-out submersible or an underwater habitat), depending on where the source of the ...

  8. Scuba gas management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scuba_gas_management

    Rebreather diver with bailout and decompression cylinders. Scuba gas management is the aspect of scuba diving which includes the gas planning, blending, filling, analysing, marking, storage, and transportation of gas cylinders for a dive, the monitoring and switching of breathing gases during a dive, efficient and correct use of the gas, and the provision of emergency gas to another member of ...

  9. Hydrox (breathing gas) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrox_(breathing_gas)

    Hydrox, a gas mixture of hydrogen and oxygen, is occasionally used as an experimental breathing gas in very deep diving. [1] [2] It allows divers to descend several hundred metres. [3] [4] [5] Hydrox has been used experimentally in surface supplied, saturation, and scuba diving, both on open circuit and with closed circuit rebreathers. [6]
