I hope the title is not too confusing…
Basically my question is if anyone knows the max pressure a Drager p-port system might be able to hold. P-port connections are made to operate at near-ambient pressure with minimal differential across sides. Has anyone ever tried to pressurize them?
I am thinking of making a calibration pot using air to check cell linearity before diving instead of pure O2. Air has a standard composition (dah) and there are no issues with flushing the system or wasting oxygen. The minimum pressure I will need is a bit under 5 bar but ideally I would like to push the system to just over 8 bar.
Will it go bang if I use P-connectors?
