WOB chart?

[wgmontgomery]

I was at my LDS a couple of days ago, and the owner was ordering new equipment. He remarked that the WOB on a new reg (Oceanic??) was the lowest (.08 j/l) he'd ever seen. This started a discussion about WOB, so I was curious if there was a chart online with various makes/models & their WOB?
I'm curious to compare my regs & their WOB specs to real world performance. FWIW I can't tell much of a dif between my SP G250 & AA regs. Both were connected to an AA 1st.
Thanks!!

Dive shops seem to find a data point like that most useful in selling regulators. Take a look at this USN report for more useful information. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...Yd2Ril0PT7O8vVaeQ&sig2=Q1sPNF-1BSGXXAdnSSY9ag

You could take the G250 results to your shop and see if he has anything simlar for his product.

Thanks for the reply! I actually have no plans to buy a new reg...especially based on a manufacture's WOB specs. I'm really just curious to see how the specs compare to what I've experienced in the real world. For example, I owned a SP Mk. 20/G250 combo and ran into trouble at ~150 ft. I NEVER felt that I was "overbreathing" the reg. If the G250 has a high (~3 j/l) WOB then I wouldn't put too much stock in the spec. If it has a low (~1 j/l) WOB then...well, IDK how I'd feel.
Thanks again; I'll check out the link!
