• Air filling service for divers up to 200 BAR or 230 BAR, >>>

Technical parameters of diving balloons and compressed air

• The technical parameters of diving cylinders and compressed air depend on the type, volume, material, pressure and temperature of the cylinder. Generally speaking, scuba tanks are made of aluminum or steel and can range in volume from 1 to 30 liters.
• Diving cylinders are filled with compressed air, which is a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen, or with special gas mixtures such as nitrox, trimix or heliox.
• The pressure of the compressed air in the cylinder can be between 200 and 300 bar, and it varies depending on the depth and temperature of the water. The temperature of the compressed air in the cylinder, immediately after filling, is usually higher than the temperature of the surrounding water, because heat is generated in the process of compressing the air.
• The technical parameters of diving cylinders, compressed air, are important to ensure the diver's safety, comfort and efficiency underwater.

Can a compressed air balloon explode underwater?

A compressed air balloon can explode underwater if its pressure exceeds the strength of the balloon or if the balloon is mechanically damaged. This risk of exploding is very low, as diving cylinders are usually made of durable materials and are equipped with safety valves that prevent over-pressurization of the cylinder.

Under water, the balloon's pressure decreases because water pressure increases with depth. Therefore, if the balloon is filled with compressed air on land, it will be partially deflated underwater and less flammable.

An air balloon can only explode if it is filled with air underwater and then quickly raised to the surface, where the water pressure is lower and the balloon pressure is higher. This situation can occur when a balloon is used as a rescue device, but it is very rare and dangerous.

How often should diving balloons be serviced - visual and hydrotest

Maintenance of scuba tanks is important to ensure their safe and long-term performance. Scuba cylinders are underwater diving cylinders that are filled with compressed air or other gas mixtures to allow the diver to breathe underwater. Maintenance of scuba tanks includes:

• Visual inspection: This is an annual inspection to assess the condition of the cylinders and detect possible damage such as cracks, scratches, corrosion, leaks or deformations. Visual inspection also includes cleaning, disinfection and drying of the cylinders¹.
• Hydrotest: This is a test that is carried out every five years to check the resistance of cylinders to pressure and over-discharge. A hydrotest involves filling a balloon with water and subjecting it to high pressure to determine the change in its volume. If the banon exceeds the specified volume change limit, it is considered invalid and must be destroyed².

Maintenance of scuba tanks should only be performed by authorized and certified professionals who are trained and qualified for the job. Maintenance of diving balloons must also be recorded and the appropriate markings and stamps must be displayed on the outside of the balloons³.
