OK, Tough Guy, which do you want, the flame or just the answer? First the flame: only a complete stroke would leave a fill bin with unanalized gas, let alone go so far as to put a reg on it and then decide to analize it, and agian you have been reading the equivalent of "Screw" magazine for divers, or the ansewer, which is yes, you can make up an analyzer rig with the fitting and use it to analyze your gas by attaching the reg to the bottle and doing so, but then, why bother? Just hold the female and of the xams tree fitting over the valve and test the gas, besides, if you cause any rise in pressre in the line, you are reading more like a PPO2, not a percent, Chief, so again the convoluted ideas out there cause more convolution and more trouble than they are worth - keep it simple. And take my advice - do not go anywhere with an unanalyzed and marked bottle - do not even leave the dive store. Breathing the wrong gas has killed some smart people, including Bobby McGuirre, and the guy who wrote one of the deco programs for mixed gas - smart enough to do that and not smart enough to analyze and mark his bottles - go figure. Not being strict about this is anouther practice of the personal preference crowd. They would bve more likely the onese to buy somethihg like this and then decide to analyze theri gas at a dive site - for the first time, as most of these geniuses believe it takes a while for the gas to mix - about ten seconds. - G On Wed, 1 Jan 1997, s_lindblom@co*.co* (Steven Lindblom) wrote: > >I posted a while back here looking for info on those simple little O2 >samplers which snap onto a LP hose using a QR fitting, as made by Varouxis >and some other company - Dive Rite, maybe - as shown in the Divers Supply >MO catalog. >Not a single response, except from someone else looking for info.
