Mechanism of formation of functional components of diving suit cover with increased protective properties

This article presents the results of a questionnaire survey of specialists regarding the formation of components of diving suit packages to ensure the reliability of equipment and life safety when carrying out deep-sea diving for maintenance in hydraulic structures. The purpose of these studies was to identify the main indicators that require priority research items when creating a new diving suit with increased protective properties. 50 diving service specialists took part in the survey. The survey results were processed using standard methods. According to experts, the most significant are X4 - material structure, porosity and thickness considerations, X8 - strength and waterproofness of connecting seams, X3 - elasticity (extensibility) and X5 - wear resistance with a concordance coefficient ω=0.79>0.6 showing sufficient agreement between expert opinions. The results obtained revealed the priority areas of research for the development of a special diving suit that ensures maximum safety for a diver in deep-sea professional conditions.
