volume/time or pressure/timeThe term in question is a RATE, neither a volume nor a pressure.
More gibberish. Anyone who thinks SAC is a constant doesn't understand the first thing about it. Where do you get this nonsense?SAC is regarded as a diver specific constant
In a recent poll, 65% of respondents used SAC as volume/time and the other 35% used it as pressure/time. Less respondents used the term RMV, however, 97% used it as volume/time.volume/time or pressure/time
Everyone agrees it is a rate, the debate is whether it is a pressure rate or a volume rate
Correct, fixed it. I was distracted, just paid my taxesI think you made a mistake there. RMV was 97% volume/time (not pressure/time) in that thread.
You know, after being a regular on SB for a number of years we seem to always have to define SAC. I wish we and the diving industry would change the acronyms to SACP for surface air consumption pressure and SACV for surface air consumption volume. RMV is not intuitive.
I guess...volume/time or pressure/time
