Working Pressure

Post by lloyd_borrett »

G'day Sven,

Diving Log 4.0.7 has a new field associated with cylinders for the "Working Pressure". Just what is it? What should I be entering?

By the way, I use metric units, i.e. bar, litres, metres etc.

I have a Faber 12.2 litre steel cylinder. Tested pressure is 356 bar. Operating pressure is 232 bar.

I also have a Faber 15 litre steel cylinder. Tested pressure is 348 bar. Operating pressure is 232 bar.

So is the "working pressure", the tested pressure, the operating pressure, the starting cylinder pressure, or something else?

On a related point, will I need to make changes to how the SAC rate is calculated in phpDivingLog, and if so, could you please give me the details.

Best regards, Lloyd Borrett.

Hi Lloyd

The working pressure is only necessary when you use imperial units. You can enter it, but it has no effect to the metric SAC rate. I have added it because of this thread: Diving Log and SAC rate

For PHP Diving log I think you can change it for the imperial calculation like in the thread explained. The metric can be as it is.
