Seeks info on aluminum oxygen regulators

Seeks info on aluminum oxygen regulators

Recently I attended a conference where one of the speakers spoke about several incidents involving aluminum oxygen regulators. The regulators involved in the incidents he described failed violently, resulting in burns and blast injuries to several personnel. The facts surrounding these failures were unclear, and I have been unable to find evidence of similar incidents in any publication. I would appreciate any information your readers could provide regarding violent failures of aluminum oxygen regulators. Please send replies to Sgt. Bill Crawford, 7101 Whitley Road, Watauga, TX 76148.
