This is a great teaching moment. Given the problem to a first term P-Chem class. Assume ideal behavior. Set 19.5 or 20.0 percent O2 as the level of concern.
Much more fun than someone else's calculator.

Type in "Oxygen Depletion Calculator" in google. The first hit is a spreadsheet from warwick.ac.uk. It is a spreadsheet download that helps you determine the level of displaced oxygen.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] O2 Sensor Determination
Does anyone have a good reference for determining when a room needs an O2 sensor? I'm looking for an amount of liquid gas (nitrogen, argon, helium) vs cubic feet calculation. (We're assuming total catastrophe here: no ventilation and all the cryo-liquid escapes). Dartmouth is looking at doing an overhaul of all the O2 sensors on campus. Facilities will oversee maintain/scheduling of these sensors and require a "hard and fast" rule from EHS to justify their installation.
