Re: Accurate PO2 Calibration

Folks,

Joe is correct here AFAIK. For instance, in aviation we are taught and use 1.013 for standard atmosphere, not 1.000, and this is an international standard.

Also, the formula is: Depth in ata times the fraction of the gas. The conversion in Imperial measurement (Yes, guys, I admit metric works more easily.) is:
Depth in fsw divided by 33, result plus 1 = depth in ata.

Just my ppO2's worth.

(DISCLAIMER: I am not a mathematician nor an engineer, nor do I play either on TV. I am a pilot, and we generally use fancy computers to get our answers these days!! )
