Abstract
An inelastically deformable member is positioned in the path of gases leaving an inflator and passing to an airbag. The pressure of the gas causes the member to deform and measurement of the deformation discloses the adequacy of the inflator performance. The same deformable member may also function as a gas diffuser.
