Cleaning and gas analysis for diving applications handbook.

Abstract

To establish and maintain an acceptable atmosphere for diving applications, cleaning, gas analysis, and monitoring are required. The monitoring requirements (e.g., oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, material controls, reentry controls) are addressed in NAVSEA SS800-AG-MAN-010/P-9290 or SS521-AA-MAN-010, as applicable. Cleaning and gas analysis are also addressed in subject manuals, with this manual providing additional guidance and explanations. The Program Manager and System Certification Authority shall use this manual partially or in its entirety for each project. A synopsis of how each section of this manual fits into the goal of establishing and maintaining a safe diving environment is as follows: Chapter 1: Cleaning Requirements. Chapter 2: Cleanliness of Manned Spaces. Chapter 3: Moisture Measurements. Chapter 4: Theory for Gas Analysis. Chapter 5. Determining Gas Analysis Requirements. Chapter 6. Gas Analysis Laboratory. Chapter 7. Equipment for Collecting Gas Samples. Chapter 8. Procedures for Collecting Gas Samples. Chapter 9. Maintenance of Gas Analysis Equipment. Chapter 10. Gas Sample Results. Chapter 11. Off-Gas Testing. Appendix A. Moisture Calculations.
