The calculated % oxygen saturation is 52.79% but if you use the saturation monogram the result is 40%.  This is a big difference!  Using the web calculator at http://www.hbuehrer.ch/Rechner/O2satur.html using an elevation of 500 masl I get 41.13%

I think the % saturation calculator needs checking or an explanation is required for the difference.

Salinity meter is not accurate and has been sent away for inspection.
