AP VALVES DSMBi

Lee have you checked your little filler cylinder to see if there was any air left in it after deploying the blob? If you did maybe you hadnt cracked the bottle open sufficiently. I must admit I hadnt noticed that you suffered from erectile dysfunction of your blob.

Martin, I know about treaddur but whats this about lost wallet? Yet another Goat tale is it?

It won't make a difference though - it'll hit the surface with the same volume, the only difference might be how quickly it gets there

Certainly 80 bar wont inflate it anywhere near enough here.

I always use a full tank or at the very least 150bar.

True, but if it is full when it leaves the bottom, then the expanding air will escape out the valve. If it is still filling up, then the expasion happens to different amounts of air so it can end up droopy.

Ive had problmes with mine to, I tryed everything filling from full cylinder, filling from half full, etc and in the end i sent it off to AP and they had a look. 3 days later they sent it back fully working. They have not told me what was wrong it just works now.... Oh and i now always fill it from a full cyclinder and i get a nice big one at the surface!!!

Is this some new gas law I'm unaware of? Scubee's Law maybe

you cannae change the laws of physics, Jim.

Apparently you can make new ones up though

100 bar min to fill a 0.1.

If it's DIN, make sure you screw it all the way home or some of the air leaks out past the threads. Plus that's how you get seawater in the cylinder. A blob of grease (o2 compatible if you're nitroxxey) makes all the difference.

Sorry, 2B (absolute) will "fill" the cylinder (providing the donor cylinder is equal or larger volume than the dsmbi cylinder.

Hang on, just opening the dsmbi valve to the atmosphere will fill it to atmospheric pressure

Stop being a dick and get back in your box.
