Dissolved Oxygen
Table 3 lists the mg/L dissolved oxygen in water at saturation for various
temperatures and atmospheric pressures. The table was formulated in a
laboratory using pure water. The values given are only approximations for
estimating the oxygen content of a particular body of surface water.
