Exit bag filling up time.

[darkman]

hello
So I was testing my Nitrogen set up and when i set the flow rate to 15 L/M it took at least a minute and a half to fill my bag only up 50%.
This concerns me. i checked for leaks and i dont think there is any. how long is it supposed to take roughly in peoples experience for their exit bags to fill up?
The good news is for the short time period I did have the bag on my head I started to become light headed very quickly(like 25 seconds and I was pretty out of it).

You've got something wrong with your set-up.

Think about blowing up a balloon or a plastic bag like a turkey roasting bag. The normal adult exhales at the rate of about 7 or 8 LPM. Forceful blowing is twice that. At 15LPM the bag should fully inflate in less than a minute.

PM me if you wish for a more complete discussion.

You might be looking at CFH instead of LPM. 15 CFH is ~7LPM, and 15LPM is ~31CFH.

I am nearly certain I was looking at the LPM gauge.

Nearly certain = Uncertain

Was the cylinder completely charged and full ?
