Help me build a resource for us =)

Scott

Greetings everyone!



I will be out of the water for 4 weeks, and need a project that is worthwhile.. I've decided to, with your assistance, build a resource for us. I am going to put together a set of spreadsheets containing vital statistics on various rebreathers =)

If some of you could be so kind as to pick one or more of your rebreathers, add it and your name to the list.. and take some relatively accurate (with in a few mm/and 1/8" or so) measurements of some various components and post them here I would appreciate it!

Also.. if more then one type of scrubber is available for the rebreather (IE, Meg w/ Mini-Axial, Axial, ISC Radial, Golem Radial, Golem Mini-Radial, I'd like to get info on all of them so please note which one you are measuring)

I am taking responsibility for the
Dolphin -(I can do this one)
Ray -(I can do this one)
LAR VI -(I can do this one)

Dimensions I am looking for:

Flow Rates:
If you use an mCCR, what is your intermediate pressure, orifice size, and resulting flow rate

For sorb: Weight of known volume of *FRESH* sorb - to calculate density

Breathing hose ID
Breathing hose Length
Inhale CL volume
Exhale CL volume

All Scrubbers:
Approximate volume of sorb
Approximate weight of sorb (and type!!)
Manufacturer rated duration (and if this is arbitrary or CE test)

Round Scrubber Dimensions-(most rebreathers)
ID of the exterior wall
OD of the interior wall (if it has gas path in the middle, such as MK15, Kiss, etc)
Height

Rectangular Scrubber Dimensions-(Sport Kiss)
Width
Depth
Height

Unit Overall Dimensions
Height
Width
Depth
Weight w/o sorb/cylinders

Best wishes,
Scott

Here are my spreadsheets as they are.. pretty much a mess

Common Rebreather Cylinder Dimensions - Imperial (sheet 2 has approximate durations)

Common Rebreather Cylinder Dimensions - Metric (sheet 2 has approximate durations)

List of rebreathers with some overall measurements

Some common thread dimensions for rough ideas

a very large O-ring dimension database w/ information for machining grooves

a mess of a spreadsheet that I have a bunch of information thrown into ... most of it is repeated in individual sheets above..
