Advanced Testing
“The responsibility of the technician is to renew/restore the regulator to OEM specifications.”
Basic static testing does not provide the complete picture of the regulator’s performance. Going beyond the basic “static testing” methods is the only way to ensure the regulator is adjusted for optimum performance. This requires dynamic testing – checking and documenting the performance of the regulator at different flow levels.
We utilize a PC based flow test stand, A.I.R. Flow Test Stand, that is designed to test diving regulators under both static and dynamic conditions. In addition to the standard “static tests” for cracking effort and intermediate pressure, the “dynamic performance” of the complete regulator (first and second stage) can be automatically monitored, recorded and logged while the regulator is supplying air at varying flow rates. These dynamic tests are important on modern regulators that utilize venturi assists as part of the overall work of breathing. With a thorough knowledge of regulator adjustment logic, we can interpret these results and provide the correct solution to keep your regulator operating at peak performance.

Even though you take care of your scuba gear and it looks to be in good condition, you still need to have it inspected and serviced. The outside may not show any signs of wear and tear, but the inside can tell a different story.
