The pressure medium for this tank is fresh water.
Effective dimensions：1.4m (inner diameter) ×3m(length) (5.04 in volume)

This device can apply static pressure through the compression line.
The pressure medium is pumped into the hyperbaric chamber from a tank located outside the building. Following the experiment, the medium is returned to the tank.

Item		Explanation
Compression line	Static pressure	Max. 1.560 kg/
	Rate of pressure application	7〜70Kg//min

The hyperbaric chamber is monitored during the experiment; gauges automatically record pressure data.

Item		Explanation
Monitoring instruments	Room monitor	TV camera (tank room, pump room)
	Chamber monitor	Underwater TV camera (optional)
	Others	Pressure, temperature
Operating apparatus	Ceiling crane	20T/3T on-floor type / unit
