Anti-Corrosion Technology And Use Environment of Diving Bottles
As an important part of diving equipment, oxygen tank diver often needs to be used underwater for a long time. Especially in seawater or fresh water, diving oxygen bottle faces severe environmental challenges. Salt water, chlorine water and other chemicals in the diving environment will cause varying degrees of corrosion to diving oxygen bottle. In order to ensure the safety and service life of diving oxygen bottle, the application of anti-corrosion technology is particularly important. Modern oxygen tank diver usually adopts a variety of advanced anti-corrosion designs and materials to meet these challenges and ensure the safety of divers underwater.
The anti-corrosion technology of oxygen tank diver is first reflected in the choice of materials. At present, there are two common materials of diving oxygen bottle on the market: aluminum alloy and steel. Aluminum alloy oxygen tank diver is generally widely used because of its lightness and good corrosion resistance, especially in freshwater diving environment, aluminum alloy can provide sufficient corrosion resistance. However, in seawater diving environment, aluminum alloy oxygen tank diver is relatively susceptible to salt corrosion, and special attention should be paid to maintenance and regular inspection.
Compared with aluminum alloy, steel oxygen tank diver has a stronger advantage in corrosion resistance. The surface of steel diving oxygen bottle is usually polished or coated, which further enhances its corrosion resistance. In salt water, steel diving oxygen bottle can better resist the corrosion of seawater and is suitable for long-term use in marine environment. However, even high-quality steel materials may corrode due to the accumulation of salt in seawater if not properly maintained, so timely cleaning after use is the key to extending the service life of diving bottles.
In addition to materials and surface treatment technology, the design and manufacturing process of diving oxygen bottle also have an important impact on corrosion resistance. For example, the design of components such as sealing rings, bottle mouths and valves must ensure that salt water does not penetrate into the bottle body. Oxygen tank diver valves are usually made of materials that are not easy to rust, and are designed to avoid moisture accumulation to reduce the possibility of corrosion. In addition, the coating protection technology of the bottle body is also constantly developing. Some new diving bottles use high-tech anti-corrosion coatings, which not only improve corrosion resistance, but also effectively reduce friction and extend the service life of the bottle body.
In order to extend the service life of diving oxygen bottle, special attention should be paid to the maintenance of the diving bottle after use. After each use, the bottle body should be thoroughly cleaned, especially the salt in the sea water should be completely rinsed off. At the same time, divers should also regularly check the surface of the bottle body to ensure that there is no damage caused by friction or collision. After the diving season is over, it is recommended to store oxygen tank diver in a dry and ventilated environment to avoid humid storage conditions that accelerate corrosion. In daily use, combined with advanced technological innovations and good maintenance habits, the corrosion resistance of oxygen tank diver can be further improved, providing divers with more reliable protection.
