the question is...

"Following analysis of a nitrox cylinder, do you mark the cylinder to indicate its contents, and to how many decimal places is the marking done"

cheers all

I mark the neck of the cylinder with the mix as I analysed it if it analysed at 31,7 that is what I write. on the bottom of the cylinder I write the MOD this is a rounded figure in this case it would be 40meters.

So the answer to the question is to one decimal point.

I tend to mark them to one decimal place then decide what i am going to set the computer to, depending on whether I want to be depth limited or oxtox limited

If I ask for 32% that's what I expect. If it's 32.2% then it goes back till the bottle monkey gets it right!



Ok, no decimals, I round UP so 32.2% gets marked 33%. I would set my computer to 32% though

That's a bit harsh. 1% either way is supposed to be acceptable in recreational nitrox

If it's nitrox it's 32%. Period.

If I'm on OC nitrox then I'm shallower than 30m so the *precise* mix is neither here nor there. Yes I analyse the gas but no I don't mark the cylinder.

How do other people know my gas? Couldn't care less. If we're in the same team we're on the same gas. If you're not in the same team why are you interested?

If the skipper wants to know I'll write it down.
