Is this their proprietary wacky formula? is this thing legot? It measures PSI / Minute. Sounds a lot like SAC. Any SSI folks out there that can assist?

SAC and SCR are the same thing. They give you a general idea on air consumption. Remember, if you're reading an analog guage, you're just guessing at the closest pressure anyway. I don't know if SSI created the terms or not. Lots of agencies out their have their own names for the same things. Kinda like ABT, absolute bottom time, TBT, total bottom time or total dive time..... same song, different verse.Diver0001 once bubbled...
My guess is that SCR is just SAC. It probably stands for "Surface Consumption Rate" or some such thing. SSI might have called it something else so they could maximize confusion and try to make their students think they invented it.... :mean:
The formulas are simple and not proprietary.
R..
I thought ABT was actual bottom time and that ABT + RNT (residual nitrogen time) equaled TBT (total bottom time) on a repetitive dive table...Kinda like ABT, absolute bottom time, and TBT, total botom time.. same song, different verse.

You've got me O-ring.
I stand corrected.
I was messing up my terminology. I was thinking(supposedly) about TDT, total dive time, TBT total bottom time and TNT Total Nitrogen time.
I'll take my lashes with an tank strap for that one.
Thank you sir, May I have another.. :banging:
