| OBA Training Canister |
| The OBA training canister provided 3 to 5 minutes of oxygen generated from a chlorate candle, or oxygen candle. The chlorate candle was a cylindrical chemical oxygen generator that contained a mix of sodium chlorate and iron powder, which when ignited smolders. It was ignited exactly in the same manner as a normal OBA and was replaceable. The OBA training canister could be used 40 times for training by changing the chlorate candle. |
