Gradient factors are a calculation trick (Erik C. Baker) that consists of taking a percentage of each M-Value (e.g. 90%) in order to increase conservatism (shorter duration without mandatory stops, longer and/or deeper stops) by reducing the maximum amount of neutral (inert) gas (e.g. nitrogen) accepted when approaching the surface (Maximum Value of each tissue compartment at... 9 m, 6 m, 3 m, surface).<ref name="Foret-1" />.
