BUOYANCY CHAMBER - Pressure

II-4-PRESSURE

II -4-1- Inflating the buoyancy chamber
a) Boat equipped with standard valves
• Inflate the buoyancy mechanism, equalizing the pressure between the different
compartments until the partitions (a) are no longer visible (pressure = 240 mb)
NEVER PRESSURISE
A COMPARTMENT
WHEN THE OTHERS
ARE COMPLETELY
DEFLATED
• Inflating is complete: Screw on the valve caps
NOTE
II-4-2-Pressure
The correct pressure for the buoyancy chamber is 240 mb/ 3.4 PSI (middle of the green
sector of the pressure gauge).
The boat is fitted with a pressure indicator which provides a quick, efficient readout during
inflation (see explanations for use in the "Inflation system" section).
The ambient temperature of the air or
water proportionately influences the
level of internal pressure in the
buoyancy chamber
