Abstract Description of the construction and operation of an air-chamber apparatus developed by a Soviet mining institute to test the airtight qualities of 2 models of self-rescuers manufactured in the USSR. The dial indicator of the apparatus is housed in a hermetically-sealed case; thus any variations in atmospheric pressure due to mine ventilation do not affect the precision of readings.
