Mask Leak Rates

Post by kopoloff » Mon Dec 01, 2008 4:25 am

Hi all

I have an Opus 360, but can't find a leak chart anywhere. Does anyone have this data, or know where I can get it?

Thanks

Mask manual or CD? It's a detail the mask maker is supposed to report.

Thanks ozij, but I didn't get a CD, and the manual had nothing at all

Perhaps I'll contact F & P (but then they're NZ company, and they don't like Aussies at the moment because we smashed them at cricket today)

Can you masquerade as someone else? Or maybe - just maybe, I, I truly hesitate to suggest such sacrilege, maybe you could congratulate them on their victory before you start talking? Or would doing that doom you to a fate worse than... apnea?

Scroll down a bit and they have an exhaust chart at different pressures.
