Hi Rick,
If you based your consumption on half a liter per
minute of O2, it would be on the generous side.
So 144 hours x 60 minutes x .5 = 4320 liters. An 80
cubic ft dive tank holds 2,265 liters but that's at
3000 psi. I think they normally fill O2 to 2000
psi.

I am building a K-350 and am trying to figure out how
many cubic feet of 02 I will need to have on board to support 2 people for 72
hours. My hull ID is 36" and I am using a length of 7.5 feet long to include
the end caps.
The conning tower is 23" ID X 18" to include the
hatch. I came up with 57.32 cu ft. Is this correct and if so, can someone tell
me how many cu ft of 02 I would need to carry based on the average aspiration
rate of two people?
Thanks
Rick P.
