Trimix Tools
Trimix blending and mixed gas planning tools that can be used where you are and when you need them.
You can use these tools to plan your mixes prior to arriving at the dive shop or to fill your cylinder at the air station or on the boat. Calculations are provided for the best Trimix given a planned depth and a desired maximum partial pressure of oxygen and equivalent narcotic depth (END). You can also calculate the ceiling and maximum depths along with your END based on your planned mix. The dive planning tools support both salt water and fresh water calculations. The blending tools provide for filling a cylinder with a remaining mix (or empty) to a specified target mix using oxygen, helium and a topping mix (air or another available mix). You can also calculate the result of topping an existing partially filled cylinder with a specific topping mix (air or another available mix). Trimix Tools supports calculations in both metric and Imperial/US systems of measure.
Traveling on a boat or working out of network range? These tools are at hand any time you have your iPhone or iPod touch. You could, for example, easily calculate the result of topping your cylinder from your first dive with air from the boat's compressor to take advantage of any remaining mix. You also have the convenience of saved settings that you can recall at a touch and adjust to a new situation as needed.
All END calculations (Dive Planning and Best Trimix tabs) in Trimix Tools version 1.1 treat oxygen as a narcotic gas by default. There is an option available under the Settings tab to change the default so that oxygen is not treated as narcotic if that is your preference. Please note that the previous version of Trimix Tools (1.0) did not treat oxygen as narcotic by default.
This application is not a substitute for proper training and should not be used as a substitute for proper dive planning or the primary Trimix blending and planning methods taught during training. Please do not attempt to handle high pressure oxygen or fill SCUBA cylinders without proper training.
WHAT'S NEW IN THIS VERSION:
Version 1.3:
Improved compatibility with various iPhone OS releases.
Version 1.2:
Heliair and Helitrox blending is now directly supported with the new "Helitrox" tab. You can calculate Helium based mixes using just Helium and one or two available Nitrox mixes and/or air. This eliminates the need to use pure Oxygen for certain mixes.
All the tools now have the ability to e-mail the results of the calculations using the iPhone's built in Mail application. You can enter addresses and the subject directly in Mail or set initial values in Trimix Tool's settings tab that will be transfered to the Mail application.
You can now pick Trimix and EAN values using pre-installed default mixes or your own saved custom mixes. You simply tap the "Mixes" button when you are setting a mix to see a list of saved mixes that you can use directly by tapping on them. You can save the current mix displayed on the gas picker wheels by tapping the "+" button. Just like with the saved calculations, you can re-arrange or delete any mixes in your saved list.
Based on user requests, the display format for Trimix values has been changed to the more common notation in the technical diving community of O2/He (for example 10.5/50 is now used instead of 10.5%-50%).
There have also been some minor improvements displaying some results and entering some values.
