Dissolved Oxygen Barometric Pressure Compensation
The Orion VERSA STAR Meter with RDO/DO/Temperature module systems have an internal barometer that is used forpressurecompensateddissolvedoxygenreadings.Themetercanalsousemanualbarometricpressurecompensationifdissolvedoxygenismeasuredwithasubmergedprobeorinapressurizedvessel.ThepressuremustbeenteredasmmHg.
1 mm Hg = 0.03937 inch Hg = 1.3332 hPa (mBar) = 0.01934 PSI.
