Question 218Safety & Environmental - Assistant Engineer
70% to passWhich of the components listed are interchangeable between different backpack self- contained breathing apparatus produced by various manufacturers?
AThe face piece
BThe air cylinder
CThe regulator
DAll of the above
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) The air cylinder. The air cylinder, or tank, is the only component of a backpack self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) that is typically interchangeable between different manufacturers' models. This is because the air cylinder's size, connection fittings, and pressure rating are standardized across the industry to ensure compatibility and interoperability. In contrast, the face piece and regulator are usually specific to each manufacturer's SCBA design and not interchangeable. Attempting to use a face piece or regulator from one brand with an SCBA from another brand could result in an improper fit or functionality issues.
