@@JohnPaulRiger yes the computer will automatically shut down. Once you dive the computer it will remain on until it detects the N2 levels in your body return to normal “as per your dive profile”. If you activate the unit by pressing the buttons for dive planning or log book review, it will remain on for 15 to 30 mins. Thanks for watching.

One and a half hours is very acceptable, customer drops his reg off at 9am and returns 10:30 am to dive the afternoon, wow that's awesome. I've worked with and trained a lot of reg techs. Uninterrupted 90 min service is inline with what I expect and would say it's pro level. Someone working faster, I would question the integrity of the service. I have timed myself and completed a 3 stage service under 45 mins. , however this is not my everyday objective. There're times I'm multi tasking taking care of phone calls, and walk-in customer etc... this can lead to 5 hour service or I start today and finish tomorrow.

@@azymasger9088 Soaking in vinegar and brushing with a brass brush afterwards another soaking in baking soda and water to remove vinegar residue. This will help but you might not get the same results as an ultrasonic cleaner.

Side mount has gained a lot of popularity, I kinda like also.

@@Jesus-i1d7n yeah I had busy summer, little time for videos. I’m gonna make time to post so stay tuned . Thanks for watching brother!

@@monteshugart-v5e not as of now, the thing about steel tanks is the hot dip galvanizing. The EPA is very strict about the waste, they didn’t make it cost effective to continue making galvanized tanks. So the tank companies got of the steel business.

@@timurvekilov612 thanks for your support, I had a very busy summer with little spare time for videos…. I still here making time for more videos.

There's no proof of hydro test weakling cylinders, however excessive hot fills has proven to be detrimental to the integrity to the cylinder. Thanks for watching.

@@ibrahimmohamed2016 Hydro-Test Products is one vendor I’ll look for more can and get back to you.

The brushes are ss cable and the shaft is aluminum. Thanks for watching

The brass bodies are CNC to remove as much weight in metal as possible, the plastic just builds up the body for ascetic appeal. Thanks for watching

I've attached link to my video on old tanks, it will help understanding old tanks. Thanks for watching ua-cam.com/video/Zv2VSEe3Pjw/v-deo.html

@@DiveScapeTVa sand blaster can be too aggressive because there could be some loss of aluminum. Loss of aluminum will compromise the integrity of cylinder. A gel type paint stripper is a better option.

@@DiveScapeTV glad to hear you found it helpful. Thanks for watching

Oil is very difficult to remove, Dawn soap warm water, Blue Gold detergent, Simple Green Cleaner are my favorite ways of cleaning tanks. You may to also tumble with glass beads. The valve needs to be cleaned as well, by disassembly and cleaning individual parts.

@@stevecoffey4884 Thanks for watching!

40% is a large amount of corrosion, anything over 20% is considered a fail. I can't recommend to continue service on that cylinder. Thanks for the question.

No soy Scubapro dealer, no tengo tutorías.

Not many outdated regs are out there, but I still see them come into my shop. If I can be of any help don't hesitate to reach out. Thanks

I would like to know the same thing

@@dawktah2680I ran into a CONDEMNED issue with my FABER that has a born date of 1/19.

Faber Hot dip gal. tanks are now coming into their first hydro testing. As of the current date Faber has not published any special testing procedures other than the 10% rule. I suspect as testers fail these tanks Faber will petition DOT just like ( Worthington & PST) for special testing using REE and multiple pretest. Galvanized cylinders have a false fail on first and sometimes second test, this is why special procedures must be applied. I've made several inquiries about this issue with Faber Galvanized tanks, so far nothing.

Your tank most likely had a false fail, I've seen this many times with galvanized steel.

Thanks for watching and subscription!

No, a light tumble with O2 safe cleaner is needed.

You can get those answers from Hydro-Test the company which sells and trains users on their equipment.

I strongly disagree with your statement when it refers to scuba cylinders. Cylinders are a flexible container holding 3000 psi or more, which can and have been explosive when improperly inspected. Oxidation/corrosion, “lost of metal” will lead to pitting in the alloy, a single pit measuring .06 of an inch will fail the cylinder, but an structural column with the same pit can remain in service. Please keep in mind we in the scuba industry are formally trained, I personally have 40 years of training and experience we are also regulated by, Department of Transportation (DOT) Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) Compressed Gas Association (CGA) Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and OSHA . In addition we are mandated to have continual education and certification every 3 years. Did you know the person filling or inspecting your scuba tank must be trained and certified every 3 years? (CFR180.205) Here are some quotes from our training text to help you understand our methods. “ The primary purpose of cleaning a cylinder, whether inside or out, is to ensure all metal surfaces are exposed to the inspector’s eyes”. “The entire exterior of the cylinder must be exposed to the inspector and not concealed”. “If corrosion is found on the exterior, under the coating then the entire coating should be removed”.

@@scubatechkeylargo I am an engineer, actually a lic. mech. PE, and I approve of your statement. The other guy may mean well, but his point is more academic than proctical, I mean practical!

@@calanpeet glad to hear you agree on this topic, it is definitely a matter of safety to be able to properly inspect cylinders. Thanks for professional input.

That’s awesome, love to see early dive gear. The History of Diving museum in the keys started from a someone’s private collection. It’s now a popular must visit location when in the Florida Park Keys.

@@scubatechkeylargo i agree. it's a great place. we were there just 2 weeks ago.

I hope my videos help you in your tank inspections. Good luck with your training.

125 to 150 is the acceptable range… slow drift is common Cycling the first such as turn off supply pressure purging and back on. Repeatedly cycling pressure will create a impression on the piston seat and should lock up IP.

Thank you for your response very much appreciated

👍

Yeah, I was literally just watching and was thinking the same thing. I went to the comments to see if anyone else was wondering how hard it is on these tanks, just to have it tested. I am trying to research tanks for paintball and pcp air rifles. I know the carbon fiber paint ball tanks are given a life span of 15 years, but I feel like getting them tested every 5 years is harder on them than just being careful with how you use them. And all the things I read on forums say they have never heard of a carbon tank failure in the field. Maybe a cheap regulator failure but never a tank. I read about a place purposely gouging a tank 50% through the side and filling it to 13,000 psi before it failed . But I don't think they are even catastrophic failures. I think it's more of a slow leak, and maybe the fibers start to unravel. I just think if you take care of them and not have them filled by amateurs that dont filter the water out or fill them up fast, they shouldn't have a catastrophic failure. No one will ever admit it, though.

silicone grease is best. Keep in mind all you need is to wet the ring, don't over lube it because it can slip out of place.

Lawrence Factor regulator wash, it's a mild acid.

I'm not surprised by the shop owner's reaction, as per DOT we can still inspect, test and fill along with visual eddy test. However in Florida we've had multiple tanks rupture and seen first hand the consequence of neck cracks. It's up to the individual shop to make that decision. Thanks for the comment.

I have shops that send me tanks for hydro without doing VIP first and many times I fail them before testing. Doing the VIP first makes sense, this way you can catch a fail and not even bother with sending it out.

Glad to hear you're excited to dive the Spiegel, it's great dive. It'll take more than one dive to see it all so prepare for multiple dives.

Yes, I'll put a video together for you.

@@scubatechkeylargo thank you sir

Sometimes a fold in the neck can be mistaken for SLC neck crack. I've seen many shops confuse folds with SLC in 6061. I'm not saying that it can't happen but the chances are slim, an eddy current test will confirm a SLC.

Very cool, I'm looking out for a old oxygen surplus tank with the bushing still in place, just for my collection.
