Air consumption

[dirk at hohndel.org]

You are correct, the naive formula, assuming ideal gases, does indeed give different results than what Subsurface shows you.
Subsurface takes gas compressibility into account which leads to slightly different and generally lower consumption numbers.

Details have been explained very nicely here in a post of one of our developers https://thetheoreticaldiver.org/wordpress/index.php/2017/11/02/when-real-gas-corrections-matter/

You can also find many threads about this topic in the archives...
