same rate - you will still have the same mix, only less of it. Paul, the
best way to determine the correct answer to any tech question is to assume
anything taught or believed by the agencies is wrong, then the obvious
becomes obvious. This is one of the "why we dive air" pieces of slop that
come out of NE wreck diving and other sources of bozonity in the sport.

Hi,

Gas leak question.

If there was a slow leak in a cylinder valve, how much more He than O2 or
N2 would leak out over the same time period?

i.e. would most of the Helium go before the two denser gases or would it
all go at the same rate?

Thanks

Paul
