Principal Engineer & Division Head, PCCI Hyperbaric Systems
Ramesh Dixit leads the PCCI Hyperbaric Systems division, bringing more than 25 years of specialized experience in the design and development of complex hyperbaric and hypobaric chambers, electro-mechanical control systems, breathing simulators, and heavy-duty medical and diving equipment.
A licensed Professional Engineer by training, Mr. Dixit is an active member of the ASME PVHO, NFPA, and UHMS safety committees, reflecting his deep commitment to advancing safety standards across the hyperbaric industry. He has served as Principal Investigator on multiple SBIR-funded hyperbaric research projects and is a co-author of two chapters in the 2020 edition of Tom Workman’s definitive industry reference, Hyperbaric Facility Safety.
Quick answer: Caisson disease is decompression sickness (DCS), often called “the bends,” in people who work under compressed air in
Quick Answer: A hyperbaric chamber is a sealed pressure vessel that raises air pressure above normal, most often to 2.0
Quick answer: A hyperbaric chamber fire is rare but deadly, because extra oxygen and pressure make things burn faster and
Quick answer: Starting a hyperbaric clinic takes three things that work as one: the right chamber, a room built around
Quick answer: PVHO-1 is the ASME safety standard for pressure vessels for human occupancy. It applies when a chamber holds
Quick answer: Hyperbaric chamber pressure uses ATA (atmospheres absolute), where 1.0 ATA is normal sea-level air. A 1.3 ATA chamber
Quick Answer: The hard shell vs. soft shell hyperbaric chamber question comes down to one number first: pressure. Hard shell
Quick answer: Decompression vs recompression chambers are both specialized hyperbaric pressure vessels, but they serve opposite functions in the diving
Quick answer: Hyperbaric chamber cost starts around $4,000 for an inflatable soft shell and can top $2 million for a
