Atomic Aquatics Regs Are Designed & Tested For Nitrox Diving

Every Atomic reg model is carefully lab tested and approved as safe for EAN mixtures
Atomic Aquatics has diligently designed our regulator models for virtually any diving scenario in which Enriched Air Nitrox (EAN) can be safely used. Our regs have been independently lab tested to meet the stringent ASTM G-175 requirements for positive ignition testing. The test is based on trying to start an ignition or fire inside the regulator by using an ignition "pill." The pill is designed to burn like a fuse on a firecracker and releases flaming particles inside the regulator. In a reg that is properly designed for Nitrox, the fire from the pill will not damage or excessively burn any internal regulator component part. Each Atomic reg model has been tested and passed the ASTM G-175 requirement before we certify it as SAFE for EAN.

Please select from the following guidelines to
choose the Atomic reg model that is approved
as SAFE for your EAN mixture.

Atomic T2X Titanium - This new flagship model is approved as SAFE for non-dedicated EAN up to 40% O2.

Atomic ST1/B2/Z2 - SAFE for Non-dedicated EAN up to 40% O2. These Atomic models may be used interchangeably with compressed air or EAN mixtures up to 40% Oxygen at 3500 psi maximum.

Special Nitrox Diving

Atomic M1
SAFE for dedicated EAN up to 80% O2
SAFE for non-dedicated EAN up to 50% O2
The Atomic M1 model is designed to handle special Nitrox diving mixtures up to 80% Oxygen on a strictly dedicated basis. When used with high- percentage EAN mixtures, the M1 must not exceed 80% Oxygen at 3000 psi maximum and must be kept in an Oxygen-clean condition. The M1 may be used interchangeably with compressed air or EAN mixtures up to 50% Oxygen at 3500 psi maximum. The M1 is the best choice if you dive in areas where clean air standards are uncertain.
