The exhaust valve in Pressure Regulator to improve performance, the BIBS mask itself is the first BPR and, comply with and exceed National and International breathing performance depending on the make and model of mask, guidelines, thus providing a safer alternative may typically withstand pressure to standard industrial type back pressure differentials of 20 msw (2 barg). regulators commonly used in the past. For breathing systems with pressure The diving industry has nearly always differentials in excess of 20 msw (2 barg) a used industrially available products and second higher performing and more robust compromised upon performance and BPR must be fitted into the BIBS exhaust features. system. This second BPR should be able to tolerate the maximum pressure differential Now there is no excuse! generated with the chamber at its maximum working depth. Safety: A BPR is fitted to the exhaust line of a chamber BIBS system The Divex BPR is rated for a maximum to limit the maximum 'suction' (pressure working depth of 450 msw (45 barg), which differential between the inside and outside is also the maximum pressure differential of a pressurized chamber) to which the diver's lungs may be subjected in the event pressure across the BPR inlet and outlet of BIBS mask mechanical failure. ports.
