If total initial resistance (K) is equal to the Ideal Resistance (C), you can
use pure CO2.
If the total initial resistance (K) is less than the Ideal Resistance (C), you
can use pure CO2 but you will have to increase the choker with the chart
below.
If the total initial resistance (K) is greater than the Ideal Resistance (C), you
can not use pure CO2 you must use either blended gas or beer pumps.
