As the temperature of the gas in the cylinder isn't monitored, there's no correct answer. Your patch uses dive->airtemp, which I assume is the surface temperature (I'm at work now and not looking through the code to check). At the start of the dive that is reasonable, unless the cylinder has just been filled, but after a few minutes, it's probably much closer to the water temperature. Diving here in summer, the difference can be significant (say 35 C on the surface, 17 C in the water).</span></div></blockquote></div><div class=""><br class=""></div>I totally agree but I think you are just rephrasing of of the ways in which “real volume” is ill-defined. You could also argue that the gas is cooler than the ambient water when you breath it due to the Joule-Thompson effect, but hey, I don’t really care.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I only included it since the formula I found in Wikipedia (which somewhat matches the empirical values, maybe I should post the mathematica notebook that I used when I get back to my laptop) has the temperature in it, so it needs to get _some_ value. First I thought about hard coding 300K but then realized, we typically have some temperature around so it does not hurt much to use that. So that’s what I did. But it does not really matter as we are talking here about a correction to a correction to an ill-defined concept.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Best</div><div class="">Robert<br class=""><div class="">
