M Values and Gradient Factors - Explained

[Mark Powell]

Ah. Perhaps that's where my problem lies

I'm calculating the tissue tension using FN2 x ATA which is therefore in bar.
The Workman M-Value data I have is in msw (or fsw).

So I guess what I'm looking for is how to get to values that are directly comparable

EDIT:
Am I completely off the mark or can I simply convert from msw to absolute pressure using msw/10 + 1 and absolute pressure to msw using pressure-1 x 10?

I see where your confusion comes from now. Yes you just convert msw to ATA or vice versa using ATA = msw/10 + 1

Oh, thats the conversion I was looking for

Not a word from the Chimps...

oh so its just the plus and the minus you were getting confused with. All makes sense now. You chimp

Yep, with Rob. See you then.

Marvellous, thanks Mark!

If he's running the deco for you get an early order in with the chopper to avoid the rush.

Something looks wrong in my calculations of the M-values - does anyone fancy having a stab at posting what they think the M-values should be for the 5 minute compartment at 30M on Nitrox 32% in both Workman and Buhlmann ZH-L16 models?

He's married with a small child. What do you think the chances of that are then?
