Nitrogen Flow Conversion
Nitrogen Flow Conversion
(OP)
Hello,
The plant that I'm working in would like me to change the units of our nitrogen flow meter from MT/Day to M3/Hr. The density of the nitrogen is 1.251 g/l. I realize that we are moving from a mass flow measurement to a volumetric flow, but since we were never compensating for the pressure and temperature of the nitrogen, we shouldn't have used MT/Day.
Currently the transmitter is calibrated for 0 - 25 MT/Day.
Does anyone have a conversion method?
Thanks.....Tim

OR do you want ACFM?

I do have access to the pressure of the line & since the temperature is constant, I'd probably go with NM3/hr.

Here's a site that does some calculations
