8. Appendix B Formulas: IMPERIAL • PG = FG x Data • PG= Partial Pressure of Gas • FG= Fraction of Gas • Data= Depth in atmospheres (absolute) • EAD = [(FN2/0.79) x (D + 33)] – 33 • EAD= Equivalent Air Depth • FN2= Faction of Nitrogen • D= Depth in fsw • Data = (D/33) +1 • Data= Depth in atmospheres (absolute) • D= depth in fsw

9. Appendix B Formulas: METRIC • PG = FG x Data • PG= Partial Pressure of Gas • FG= Fraction of Gas • Data= Depth in atmospheres (absolute) • EAD = [(FN2/0.79) x (D + 10)] – 10 • EAD= Equivalent Air Depth • FN2= Faction of Nitrogen • D= Depth in msw • Data = (D/10) +1 • Data= Depth in (absolute) • D= depth in msw

10. Appendix B Formulas: Metric Conversions • Tank size in liters: • 28.3 L / ft3 • (13 ft3 x 28.3 L/ ft3) / 204 bar = 1.8 L • Usable tank volume in liters IMPERIAL: • 1.8 liter tank with 3000 psi • 2500 psi / 14.7 psi/bar = 170 bar • 170 bar x 1.8 L = 306 L • Usable tank volume in liters Metric: • 1.8 Liter tank with 204 bar • 170 bar x 1.8 L =306 L

11. Appendix B Formulas: Dive Planning • Point at with loop contains 21% oxygen: • PG = FG x Data • Set-point is 1.3 atm find depth where loop has 21 % • 1.3 atm= 0.21 x Data • 6.19 ata • D/33 + 1 = Data D/10 +1 = Data • Depth where a set-point of 1.3 atm loop will have 21% O2 is 171 fsw (52 msw), do not use a air table below 171 fsw (52 msw) for decompression planning

12. Appendix B Formulas: Dive Planning • Maximum narcotic depth (equivalent to air at 132 fsw or 40 msw) • MOD (narcotic) = PO2 + 3.95 • MOD = the max depth the mix maybe use for narcosis issues • PO2 = the diver chosen set point • 3.95 represents the equivalent narcotic depth of air at 132 fsw • (40 msw) or 5 ata

13. Appendix B Max air table / narcotic depth

14. Appendix B Formulas: Dive Planning • Using a nitrox computer with a CCR • PG = FG x Data • PG will be the set point (ex 1.3 atm) • FG is what we are looking for • Data is the maximum depth we will attain on the dive in ata • Ex) PO2= 1.3 atm max depth =132 fsw (40 msw) • 1.3 atm = FG x 5 ata • FG = 0.26 • So program the nitrox computer for 26%

15. Appendix C Oxygen Metabolism Rates • A general guide for Oxygen metabolism

16. Appendix D CNS Clock

17. Appendix E Sensor Check • During the dive it becomes necessary to confirm the PO2 display is correct • To do this perform a flush with diluent (air) • Ensure the PO2 is what it should be mathematically

18. Appendix F Disinfection Solutions • Javex bleach cleaner • Buddy clean • Be Kleen T • Virkon S
