Hi, I learned how to service Poseidons Xstream 4 years ago and did not use this know how since then. Soon I will have to service 6 regulators and want to prepare myself. Is there any video in the www? I prefere a video instead of a description by photos and words. I am sure I will have several deja-vues when I see such a video. Thanks for you help.

It seems they have improved the manual. Nevertheless I don't see clear at page 35:

p1=300 bar
p2>7.5 bar
p3=20 bar
p4@p3=8.4-8.6 bar
p5>7.5 bar
i= +/-1.1 bar
R max. 1 bar
Q=2 lt/min

The do not refer to those values in the manual anymore. My reading is:
p1=high input pressure for testing intermediate pressure
p2=?????????
p3=low input pressure for testing intermediate pressure
p4=intermediate pressure at p3
p5=?????????
i=??????????
R=?????????
Q=?????????

Can you please help me with those values?

The rest of the manual is well done and seems to be clear. Unless:
p38, approved gas, Duration air and EAN50
p41, Xstream Duration.... are approved for use with gaseous oxygen up to 99.95%
Is this a type mismatch? My Duration was sold for use with oxygen, page 38 sais only EAN50.

p1=Max inlet pressure
p2 = Max outlet pressure
p3=lower test pressure
p4=intermediate pressure at p3
p5=highest or lowest IP during test where inlet pressure varies from p1 to p3 for flow = standard discharge Q1. P5 taken at 20-50bar.
i=Irregularity quotient
i = p4@p1 - p4@p3
R=Coefficient of pressure increase on closure
R = p4 - p2
Q=Standard discharge (corresponds to light breath from 2nd stage)

Thank you very much.
One thing stays unclear to me:
p5=highest or lowest IP during test where inlet pressure varies from p1 to p3 for flow = standard discharge Q1. P5 taken at 20-50bar.
p1 is 300 bar, p3 is 20 bar. Why do we take P5 at 20-50bar, not at 20 and 300 bar?
