In-house breathing lab:
NUI facilitates an unique breathing lab (Chamber 9) with capabilities to do test breathing apparatus down to 600 msw. Testing can be performed in gas, fresh water and sea water and can be cooled/heated on request. The chamber is also fitted with an BPR to be able to verify closed circuit(or external exhaust) breathing systems (chamber BIBS or DGRS).
The breathing lab also has ability to perform testing on SCUBA regulators and breathing apparatus for surface use (e.g. Smoke diver)
