| mod {scuba} | R Documentation |
Computes the Maximum Operating Depth for a given gas mixture.
mod(g, ppO2max=1.4)
g |
Breathing gas. An object of class "gas" or a number
giving the fraction (between 0 and 1) of oxygen in a
nitrox mixture.
|
ppO2max |
maximum permitted partial pressure of oxygen in atmospheres absolute |
Computes the maximum depth at which the
partial pressure of oxygen does not exceed ppO2max.
The maximum operating depth for this gas.
Not applicable to altitude dives. Does not check whether the gas would be hypoxic at the surface.
