Dive kit packed so nothing much to do other than ponder...

Just checked out the URLs and noticed your 17% He over pump from the "ideal"
pressure.   Generally, I over pump all the gasses by 10%, O2, He and air in
that order.  I hot fill and get very good results.  On the two occasions I have
bothered to analyse the He, when the O2 was spot on, I found it to be 3% higher
than target percentage (assuming the He analyser is correct!!!).

Not that it matters much as too much Helium is a tortology, but have you
analysed the Helium after over pumping 17%?

The other curiosity I have mentioned before is that the O2 takes some time to
stabilise (often up to 6 hours), but I have a set in the garage pumped 36 hours
ago.  Either side of the (manifolded) twinset is still analysing differently on
O2 - only 18.8% and 18.4% gauge which is neither here nor there and will
eventually diffuse.  (Sorry John.)  However on leaving the shop it was around
11-12% - I only ever get this with Trimix.  I've had long debates as to why
this occurs and suspect it to be the viscosity of the gasses under pressure
acting similarly to liquids rather than gasses.   Any thoughts?

 << File: ATT00004.htm >> No, it is not correct. the only writing on the
bottles should be the number

that corresponds to the MOD and your name. Do not write "MOD" or "Feet" or

"Meters" or "50/50" or any other nonsense.

See http://www.wkpp.org/articles/Gear/equip_gasandmarking.htm for the

entire correct way to do all of this, and see the pictures at

http://www.wkpp.org/articles/Gear/equip_moreimages_3.htm for examples . In

your case, obviously, the numbers would be for meters not feet, but there

is no need to indicate that as it is dead nuts obvious.

Read the whole discussion on my web site and you will see why this is true.

Hi Can any one give me a good URL where I can see detailed diagrams of =

the proper way to configure clips, eye bolts for my deco side mount also =

for correct markings etc.

I want to know if marking my bottle with 50/50 in large black lettering =

and MOD 21 metres is correct.e-----
