Scubapro Titanium Reg

[Scubakevdm]

Well.... Ordinarily Titanium will spontaneously burn on contact with O2 at 47% or higher but it can be made to do so with 35% oxygen under the kinds of pressure you'll find on the HP side of the reg (350psi or higher) *and* with the addition of a catalyst (ie. let's hope your reg isn't "dirty"). With lower concentrations of O2 (under 35%) it won't burn.

At least that's how I understand it. I'm not an expert but I figure if they can get titanium to burn on contact with O2 at 35% in *ANY* kinds of conditions then it doesn't belong in a scuba regulator....... Just as a point of interest, the NASA prohibits the use of titanium in air oxygen partial pressure environments above 30psia because of the risk of spontanious combustion.

Like I said, I mostly just swim around with the fishes. Hey! My sister lives in Holland. She sure does have a long name. She just had a son too.... whew his name is really really long.

Sandenburg? is that a place? I just remember that it is part of her last name, which is Von Lynden Von Sandenburg, and Lynden doesn't sound like a town.
