SCR, refers to you Surface Consuption Rate. This is the average amount of air you use at the surface, and is used by the system to calculate you air consumption. Your air consumption is an important parameter, it will allow you to plan you dives with more confidnce as well as ensuring you have a compatible buddy (ideally you should both have similar air consumption). HOW TO CALCULATE YOUR SCRMETRIC METHOD : - Air Used (litres) = (SP - EP) x TWP TWP SP = Starting Pressure (Bar) EP = Ending Pressure (Bar) TWP = Tank Working Pressure (Bar) Surface Minutes (mins) = BT x AP BT = Bottom Time (mins) AP = Absolute Pressure (ATM) SCR (l/min) = AU SM AU = Air Used (litres) SM = Surface Minutes (mins) IMPERIAL METHOD : - SCR (psi/min @ 1 Atm) = (PSI ÷ Time) x k Depth + k PSI = Air used in PSI for a swim at a constant depth Depth = depth of swim in feet Time = Length of swim in minutes K = sea water = 34, fresh water = 33
