    It is a uPVC fitting. A 1" unthreaded end cap. https://www.amazon.com/NIBCO-Pipe-Fitting-Schedule-Slip/dp/B007Q2GL08/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=pvc+1+inch+end+cap&qid=1555240837&s=gateway&sr=8-4

    DIY Nitrox Analyzer (Arduino based)

    That is very i The sensor module is very interesting and looks usable and uses a serial interface; however settling/calibration time is one hour.

    DIY Nitrox Analyzer (Arduino based)

    It is easily done via software, but I like the simpler/cleaner interface.

    No plan for a Trimix analyzer at this time. :-D Maybe some more improvements and making a metered sampler suitable for blending.

    DIY Nitrox Analyzer (Arduino based)

    It was meant for use at room temp at 1 atmosphere, has an internal heater and needs bump gas to calibrate. It is slow and not really meant to be portable. :-(

    DIY Nitrox Analyzer (Arduino based)

    Now that is an idea. There is an actual CO sensor called an MQ7. It can be my next project. :-D

    DIY Nitrox Analyzer (Arduino based)

    The main advantage is auto and 1 button calibration, no more fiddling with a knob. Other advantages are the readability of the OLED in bright light and USB charging. You can also roughly gauge the remaining sensor life at it directly displays the cell voltage. Components are also off the shelf...

    DIY Nitrox Analyzer (Arduino based)

    Here is an Arduino based Nitrox anlyzer I recently made. It uses an Arduino Nano, an ADS1115 ADC, and a 0.96" I2C OLED display. It uses the PSR-11-39-JD sensor from DGX. This is loosely based on this one: Arduino oled nitrox analyzer - Eunjae Im. But the code was too complex for me, so I decided...

    How to use a Double Hook Pick

    I just skewer the O-ring. Much less chance of scratching the O-ring groove.

    How to restore a Piston Regulator that has IP creep

    Long winded but very informative. Thanks.

    Top 10 Scuba Diving Movies Ever Made

    THE BIG BLUE is actually about free diving but it is a good movie, nonetheless.

    When to discard analyzer O2 sensor?

    I do have a DIY pressure pot like that one :-), but my Shearwaters are SA models and do not have the Fischer connectors. I can just chuck in a computer and record the pressure readings manually. But where is the fun in that? I'm planning to add a pressure sensor module and an SD card...

    When to discard analyzer O2 sensor?

    This is getting out of hand. These sensors are actually partial pressure and not absolute sensors. Thoughts are now running in my brain of making a self contained unit with a pressure sensor and a data logging module and chucking it in a pressure pot. :-D

    When to discard analyzer O2 sensor?

    Like how many? I Will 20.9, 32, 50 & 100 suffice? What is their percentage deviation threshold?

    When to discard analyzer O2 sensor?

    I think I can incorporate that into the code. So what is "acceptable" loss of linearity?

    When to discard analyzer O2 sensor?

    I can't seem to find any info on the subject for analyzers, most are recommendation for rebreathers. I am doing a project on an Arduino based O2 analyzer. I would like to know if there is a cutoff voltage value (in air) for the sensor to be considered "bad" and lose its linearity significantly...
