What is the maximum working limit for air in the KM37?

The KM-37 diving system is designed to operate effectively within specific pressure limits, and the maximum working limit for air is an important consideration for safe diving operations. The correct maximum working limit for air in the KM-37 is 285 feet of seawater (FSW). This limit ensures that divers can conduct their operations safely while minimizing the risk of nitrogen narcosis and oxygen toxicity, both of which can become significant factors at deeper depths.

At 285 FSW, the atmospheric pressure is significantly increased due to the weight of the water above, affecting gas mixtures and the physiological effects of breathing compressed air. The KM-37 system incorporates safety features that allow for safe operation within this depth range, providing divers the necessary support for tasks like underwater inspection, maintenance, or salvage work while adhering to established safety standards. Therefore, understanding and respecting this maximum working limit is crucial for maintaining safety and effectiveness during diving operations.
