What component of a liferaft inflation cylinder assembly keeps carbon dioxide (CO2) within the cylinder and permits an unrestricted flow of CO2 to the liferaft?
Discharge valve.
Releasing carbon dioxide (CO2)from a liferaft cylinderinto a liferaft is normally done by activating the..
What action do you take if you find corrosion on the inside of a liferaft inflation cylinder?
Tag the cylinder for overhaul.
Liferaft inflation cylinders having an outside diameter of less than 2inches and a length of less than 2 feet do NOT require..
Hydrostatic testing.
After recharging a liferaft inflation cylinder-but before returning it to serviceable status-what do you do to the cylinder?
Test for leaks, then reweigh after 48 hours.
