Really? Tell you what, why don't you try a little experiment. Take two
identically full Al80s. Mount your regulator to one and remove the SPG
from the HP hose. Open the valve and record how long it takes for the
tank to empty. Switch the regulataor to the second tank, only this time
replace the SPG on the HP hose and remove a second stage from one of
the LP hoses. Repeat the experiment, then come back here and tell us
how FOS we are.

I'll play along, Joe. I always give suckers like you plenty of
rope to hang yourself.

Why don't you tell us WHERE or FROM WHOM that you learned that a
HP hose will drain a scuba tank much faster than a LP hose?

And when Joe's done, he can write the Owner/Editor of _UnderCurrent_
with his results, and ask him to retract this 1999 article that he still
keeps on his website:

Hugh posted the same article/facts on Mar 28 1999, 3:00 am.
http://www.undercurrent.org/UCnow/ar...eAir9902.shtml

John Q. Trigger might have surmised that the Spare Death AD writer
was confusing the LP hose with the HP hose, as Joe did!

The key fact in John's experiment was the draining of 2500/3000 psi
AL 80 tanks in approx. 20 and 2 minutes or a RATIO of about 10 in
TIME (HP hose to drain)/TIME (LP hose to drain), at surface.


This reminded of a thread in 1996 in which I wrote,

"The common MISCONCEPTION is that a HIGH pressure hose break would
drain
the tank faster than a LOW pressure hose. WRONG -- by a wide margin!

Reason? It's the DIAMETERS of the BORES of the hoses that mattered.
A HP hose, to be able to withstand high pressure, has a THICKER tube
and
a MUCH SMALLER hole (bore), hence drains SLOWER. The LP hose, OTOH,
has
a much bigger hole "

It's the size of the BORE that determines the speed of drainage.

I must have remembered John Q.'s 20 minute figure when I told Joe,

RF> The HP hose has a much smaller bore and it takes almost 20
RF> minutes to exhaust a tank if it broke. That's why when my
RF> depth gauge blew out of my console on my Tobago liveaboard
RF> trip, I had plenty of time to descend to the bottom to fetch
RF> the blown out gauge before returning to the boat.


But in the 1996 threads, some rec.scuban posted something to the
effect that the HP to LP time ratio was about 12 in the experiment
he performed: HP hose took 12 times longer -- but the ACTUAL
times were about 5 times shorter than John Q's figures.

That COULD account for the figure Spare Air used for time to
empty at 120 fsw, because that's at almost 4 AT higher than
John Q.'s pressure at the surface.

In any event, the ratio of about 10 to 1 seems consistent.

If someone has a full tank to blow, they might try to see if
John Q's 2 minutes was more accurate than the time of 20/30 secs
reported by someone else, on the LP, and not HP hose.

Hey, don't paint the rest of us with a brush designed by Bob. He's well

That's puts Lee (the Ostrich with his head permanently stuck in the

Where's Joe? We don't get Guest Lecturers in rec.scuba often.
I was really looking forward to learn about HP and LP hoses
from him.

You can't go by your bore hole theory.

I am talking about blown hose, which would have no bore restrictions
you name.

Really now?

Why don't you tell us WHERE or FROM WHOM you learned THAT?

Thought you were gone for good tugging your hose behind your tail.

What happened to the earlier question I asked you???

Why don't you tell us WHERE or FROM WHOM that you learned that a
HP hose will drain a scuba tank much faster than a LP hose?
