Wetwork for Hire
I'll preface this by saying I do not want to start a debate on the practice of cave fills and instead I have a specific question that is a result of an incident where the burst disc on my tank plug let go. The specifics can be found here Close Call at the LDS and a High Pressure Reminder...
I'll also point out that I do not dive caves and have no desire to dive outside my training; however, I think this is the best place to ask this question so I posted it here.
I purchased two used Faber low pressure 112's when I first started diving. The tanks came with 4000 psi rated burst disc plugs. I appreciate the fills I get from my tanks and shop and that is the reason I bought the tanks. However, I'm curious to know from those of you who have experience if I have the correct plug/disc for the typical fills I receive. Normally my shop fills them to around 3500-3600 and they cool to 3100-3200. On occasion I'll get a fill that holds at 3500.
Given the fills I typically want and receive should I change to a higher rated disc/plug for my tanks?
