    Leak Rate

    Hi, I am looking to convert a pressure drop to a volumetric leak rate. I have a container which I pull (air at ambient temp)down to 1 torr then measure the change in pressure over time (i.e. leak). I need take the 50torr/min and estimate a value in cc/min. Any help is much appreciated.
