Question 931 Deck Safety
70% to passWhen the bypass valve of a self-contained breathing device is opened, the air flows _______________.
A
through the regulator
B
from the bottle into the atmosphere
C
directly to the facepiece
D
directly to the air supply bottle
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) directly to the facepiece. When the bypass valve of a self-contained breathing device is opened, it allows the air to flow directly to the facepiece, bypassing the regulator. This provides the user with an immediate supply of air, which can be crucial in emergency situations where the regulator may fail or become obstructed. The other options are incorrect because air does not flow through the regulator (A), into the atmosphere (B), or directly to the air supply bottle (D) when the bypass valve is opened.
