BUOYANCY CHAMBER - Pressure
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 it (temperature=20°C), the temperature
and internal pressure of the inflatable compartments will drop simultaneously (up to 120 mb) and
YOU WILL THEN NEED TO REINFLATE
until you regain the millibars lost due to the difference
between the ambient air and water temperatures. A drop in pressure at the end of the day, when the
outside temperature is dropping, is normal.
RISK OF OVERPRESSURE:
EXAMPLE:
Your boat is inflated to its recommended pressure (240 mb/3.4 PSI) at the
beginning or end of the day (low outside temperature = 10°C). Later in the day, your boat is exposed
in the sun on the beach or on a yacht deck (temperature = 50°C). The temperature inside the inflatable
compartments may rise to 70°C (particularly for dark buoyancy chambers), doubling the initial
pressure (480 mb).
YOU WILL THEN NEED TO DEFLATE
the boat to return to the
recommended pressure.
WARNING
IF YOUR BOAT IS OVERINFLATED, THERE WILL BE UNDUE
PRESSURE ON THE INFLATABLE STRUCTURE THAT MAY
RUPTURE IT.
IN CASE OF OVERPRESSURE
EASY PUSH VALVE:
Release air by depressing the
valve plunger
