Title: air time
Post by: pavoir on December 05, 2005, 01:23:17 PM

can anyone give me the length of time the various size bottles on a BA set last when being used. i know everyone who uses them will have a different air usage, but is there a standard that you use for your BA board?  

many thanks

David

pavoir - the fire service in the uk has long used the duration tables derived from outdated tests. i understand there is work 'due' to ammend them accordingly - arising from fire service circular 55-2004 (i think thats the one?)

full duration for a 200 ltr is 35 mins.
