Its a huge set of files, and some sections your dont really need, but there are some good bits in it - just have to get around to downloading it!! Its essentially the basics behind what you learned in your OW classes and some other stuff without all the PR thrown in.

I would recommend downloading the relevant parts.

Thanks for posting the location of the manual. It's very interesting reading.

One thing to be wary of is the gas composition in table 2-2 on page 2-15. Argon is listed at 0.0934%, but it should be 0.934%. I can't believe that got past the editor.

For counter examples, check http://www.physlink.com/Reference/AirComposition.cfm or http://www.mistupid.com/chemistry/aircomp.htm.
