Surface Buoyancy of BC's
Your BC's buoyancy, has been rated by Zeagle Systems, Inc. Buoyancy figures
were measured in fresh water at sea level, and were rounded down to the
nearest pound. For buoyancies listed in the metric system, buoyancy is
measured in multiples of 10 Newtons, then rounded down to the next lowest
multiple.
The buoyancy of your BC is printed on a label, located on the bladder assem-
bly, as shown on page 8. A typical label for a BC will look like the example
below. This particular label indicates that the bladder assembly is rated at 19
kg (44 lbs) buoyancy.
