    Diving after pneumonia

    Thanks, I really appreciate your response. I was thinking along the lines of it was looking like non-non- destructive testing which I felt was indeed possibly dangerous. I am pretty sure we have the facilities. Thanks again.

    Diving after pneumonia

    I am not suggesting otherwise. I would just like to understand the advice same way as I understand, to some degree the reasoning behind recompression treatment.

    Diving after pneumonia

    Fully recovered as in a clean bill of health, no long term effects shall we say. He has also had all sorts of scans/tests. I am guessing he is "testing" but curious to know where the Dr picks up 4 x 5m then 2 x 20m. Also is "testing" like this not a bit inherently dangerous in itself, I bit...

    DCS or not DCS

    I have a friend who is an experienced diver. Recently a few hours after a 20m dive, straightforward no deco profile he had a bit of a tingle in 1 hand and 1 foot accompanied by a warm feeling. He checked himself into the chamber and had a couple of treatments over a couple of days and went...

    Compressor Pressure guage

    I just acquired an MCH6 petrol driven compressor and am in the process of checking it out. It is second hand, clearly done quite a bit of work so I am going to give it a basic service and get the output tested. I ran it up the other day after servicing the engine and it seemed ok and was...

    Apeks Body cracks

    I have to admit to not being aware of the reduction in torque value for this. It is interesting I have only seen this on the XTX as opposed to earlier models, so I think, reading between the lines, the problem only surfaced with the XTX and the differences in body design. I think it is a bit...

    First stage safety valve ....popping off??

    Bizarre. Bearing in mind I have inspected/re-inspected the new valves, swapped back to the old ones, slushed the IC and AC and all other feed pipes through to the check valve, I took the check valve off, looked at it, could see no obstruction, blew some low pressure air through it with no...

    First stage safety valve ....popping off??

    Did some photos but will have to upload later. I am convinced these are correct. I even put the old ones back on same problem. After completing the overall it ran and filled cylinders for around 2 hours. By unloader it has 2 +1 condensate dumps. These have been done. Is it possible there is...

    First stage safety valve ....popping off??

    1. Have you had the compressor since new?...... Yes 2. How many hours had it done before you changed valves and rings all stages ......about 1200 3. On the valves did you change both the inlet valves and the discharge valves. The valves came in sets ready built into the heads from Alkin direct...

    First stage safety valve ....popping off??

    Dear All, Recently overhauled Alkin W32 This has had new valves and rings in all stages. After recommissioning ran for about an hour then the 8 bar safety valve at the end of the intercooler from the first stage (ie beforethe second stage inlet) started operating. Changed valve, same...

    Apeks Body cracks

    Seems to be specific to the XTX range though, I have not seen it on ATX which has a different body design. The LP hose attachment needs to be tight against the locking nut or the hose can loosen, I have seen this on a dive! I torque both to 5nM.

    Apeks Body cracks

    I will try to sort a picture. Always use 2 spanners otherwise the lever goes off square. I have never seen this before despite servicing probably 100 Apeks regs only on the XTX which has a slightly different 2nd stage body design as it is designed to change orientation of the hose.

    Apeks Body cracks

    Has anyone come across cracks in the body of Apeks XTX 2nd stage near the venturi ring? I was having a bit of a wet breathe and on checking my xtx 200 there was a crack, the wetness was minor and I dabbed a bit of epoxy on it. Then I got a set of xtx 200/100 in for a service. They are of an...
