BUOYANCY TUBE - PRESSURE
NOTE: A slight loss of air is normal before the cap is screwed on.
Only the plugs provide final airtightness.
II-5 PRESSURE
The buoyancy tube has
5 compartments. Each must be inflated to a pressure of 240 mb / 3.4 PSI .
It is the buoyancy tube's correct pressure.
The ambient temperature of the air or the Ambient temperature Pressure inside the
buoyancy tube
water proportionally influences the + 1°C + 4 mb / + 0.06 PSI
internal pressure of the buoyancy tube. - 1°C - 4 mb / - 0.06 PSI
It is therefore important to anticipate.
Check and adjust the pressure of inflatable compartments (by inflating or deflating) depending on
the temperature (particularly when temperature variations are high between the morning and
evening in particularly hot regions) and check that the pressure does not exceed the recommended
pressure zone (from 220 to 270 mb).
RISK OF PRESSURE LOSS
Example:
Your boat is exposed to direct sunlight on the beach (temperature=50°C) at the recommended
pressure (240 mb/3.4 PSI). When you launch the boat (temperature = 20°C), the temperature and
pressure in the inflatable compartments will jointly drop (up to 120 mb) and
you must then re-inflate
them until the millibars lost due to the difference between air and water temperature are regained.
It is normal to observe a drop in pressure at the end of the day when the outdoor temperature drops.
