Haldane's decompression model is a mathematical model for decompression to sea level atmospheric pressure of divers breathing compressed air at ambient pressure that was proposed in 1908 by the Scottish physiologist, John Scott Haldane (2 May 1860 – 14/15 March 1936), [1] who was also famous for intrepid self-experimentation.
The US Navy has used several decompression models from which their published decompression tables and authorized diving computer algorithms have been derived. The original C&R tables used a classic multiple independent parallel compartment model based on the work of J.S.Haldane in England in the early 20th century, using a critical ratio exponential ingassing and outgassing model.
Example: Choose a gas mixture suitable for a bounce dive to 50 metres, where P O 2 must be limited to 1.4 bar and equivalent narcotic depth to 30 metres: Pressure at 50 m depth = 6 bar Required P O 2 = 1.4 bar : Oxygen fraction F O 2 = 1.4/6 = 0.23 = 23% Required equivalent narcotic depth (END) = 30 m Equivalent air pressure at 30 m = 4 bar
[1] [2] [12] [13] A maximum oxygen partial pressure of 1.4 bar for the active sectors of the dive, and 1.6 bar for decompression stops is recommended by several recreational and technical diving certification agencies for open circuit, [14] and 1.2 bar or 1.3 bar as maximum for the active sectors of a dive on closed-circuit rebreather ...
When time is spent on the surface between dives this is known as the "surface interval" and is considered when calculating decompression requirements for the subsequent dive. Efficient decompression requires the diver to ascend fast enough to establish as high a decompression gradient, in as many tissues, as safely possible, without provoking ...
The record of each dive may contain: [2] [4] Date of the dive; Signature of the diver; Name and address of the diving contractor; Dive location; Vessel or installation from which the dive is done; Type of dive (Surface oriented or saturation) For bell bounce or surface dives: Maximum depth of the dive; Time left surface or started ...
Usually, SSI benefits, which are payments for low-income seniors and disabled people, come on the first business day of each month but since Dec. 1 falls on a Sunday this year, SSI payments for ...
Delivery pressure for 12 metres (39 ft) is about 20 to 35 pounds per square inch (1.4 to 2.4 bar) using a hookah regulator. Depths of 40 metres (130 ft) require up to 9 bars (130 psi). The pressure relief valve will blow off excess air delivered at low demand, to protect the system from overpressure loads, while delivering sufficient air for ...
