That + rating if it is followed all the way through most of my cave training... about 2 of the 6 manuals of my training on tanks sizing and their non similarities are based on the no + ratings on the tanks. The graphs and information presented in them is incorrect and I based a crap load of dives.... over 600 safe cafe dives on way too much air!. I am not being sarcastic here Luis I am being very serious. I am glad I always followed my rule of thirds plus two hundered PSI. Good point and now I will recalculate my new triples that are OMS 45"s or are they 48"s?luis wrote:A small correction:
A 71.2 cu ft is at 2475 psi; therefore you have 2.88 cu ft per 100 psi.
Tanks are rated/ advertised as having the maximum possible capacity. In other words, tanks that have a “+” in the original hydro date stamp are rated with there 10% over fill.
I guess that I am not surprised about this statement considering the amount of miss-information in our sport (especially when it comes to tanks and some other aspects involving physics); it seems that cave diving training is no exception.Robohips77 wrote:

Those tanks are rated at 3442 psi since that is the only working pressure… there is no overfilling.SurfLung wrote:You guys are a bit beyond me here. Are you saying my 80cf tank is not really 80cf at the 3,442 psi pressure that's stamped on it?
