Are you sure?

With my calcs, with an O2 consumption of 2.5 litres a minute, and 40% flowing at about 10 litres a minute, you will have at least 20% in the bag. I may be wrong, but I don't think so.

You shouldn't really be able to get up to 2.5 litres of oxygen a minute, but as I understand it, Drager designed the flow for all their orifices on the dolphin to give you 20% minimum at 2.5 litres a minute of oxygen consumption.

Try doing the calculation by hand with the formula in the book.
