Product Description
"The Technical Guide to Gas Blending" is an authoritative, insightful text that explores and explains all aspects of gas blending in a logical, business-oriented way. Many gas blending courses are offered today, however, most of them have a narrow focus on the mechanics of partial pressure mixing. This book covers an important gap in the subject. The author, a pioneer in gas blending technologies and a manufacturing engineer by profession, acknowledges the fact that the selection, organization, planning and operation of your mixed gas station can have a significant impact on your business. This book will help you: ( Evaluate and select the most appropriate blending method for your operation ( Plan and execute the layout of your blending station ( Prepare the equipment and understand all issues of equipment interaction ( Do logistics planning ( Produce and dispense mixed gas safely The author takes a scientific approach in every topic, explaining the subject matter from the first principles. Long-standing, erroneous assumptions are challenged and critical thinking is encouraged throughout the text.

An important book for blending gasses for diving. March 20, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The sections on safety and prevention summarize lots of technical data in just a few pages. There are no illustrations of burrs or defective piping. I think I came across simultaneous equations that could describe blending; but, his partial pressure equations are practical. The book tells the complete story of how to do it. An introduction that went into greater detail about why one would want to use NOAA Nitrox or Trimix would have added something of value to the reader, yet would not have made the book more lengthy.

This book is one of the best I have ever read on gas blending.
The author has spent his entire career doing just this, gas blending. I recommend it highly.
