What is the rating of the bottle typically found in a RIT bag?

The rating of the bottle typically found in a RIT (Rapid Intervention Team) bag is commonly 60 minutes and 4500 PSI. This configuration is specifically designed to provide extended air supply to a firefighter in distress, allowing for a longer duration of self-contained air. The 4500 PSI rating indicates the high-pressure capacity of the cylinder, which is necessary to ensure that there is a sufficient amount of breathable air available during emergencies or rescues.

The 60-minute duration is a standard designation that reflects the estimated time a firefighter can use the air supply under moderate work conditions. This additional capacity is crucial in emergency situations where every second counts, and rescuers must have the ability to extend their operations without running low on air. Thus, the combination of a 60-minute duration and a 4500 PSI rating provides a reliable and safe air supply for RIT operations.
