Sure have, but I haven't heard that rust produces carbon monoxide. Could you link an article or info documenting that?You really have never heard of rust?????

I didn't mean CO specifically, and I do see I should have noted that. I was referring to the process of iron oxidation reducing O2 over time, which is why a rusting steel tank can be dangerous/hypoxic/invite dci. But not CO, no.Are you saying rust produces carbon monoxide?
It was a study conducted by the University of Rhode Island in 1978. The link I have is no longer valid but you can find references to it in this thread:Sure have, but I haven't heard that rust produces carbon monoxide. Could you link an article or info documenting that?
Yep thats te one i have in my book.
Every where I have gotten a nitrox fill, I had to sign a sheet saying what the mix is. Many years ago when I took my nitrox class we were told it's a requirement to analyze your own tanks. Plus I usually have air left in my tank which changes the percentage, unless the shop doesn't have banked nitrox or a nitrox stick. In that case I have to empty my tank.I'll have to disagree, if the gas is being monitored before it is banked or sent to the tank there's really no need.
The inline monitoring that is being discussed is for CO which is confusing the discussion on O2. You always need to check your Nitrox before you dive it.Every where I have gotten a nitrox fill, I had to sign a sheet saying what the mix is.

Absolutely correct. But my post was about CARBON MONOXIDE analysis, not Oxygen.Every where I have gotten a nitrox fill, I had to sign a sheet saying what the mix is.
