    FM 200 Need help with budget $ info

    FM-200 or FE-227 is Ashrae HFC-227. The density at 70 F is 2.2075. So the specific volume is 1/2.2075=0.4530. The concentration is 7% so 0.4530*.07=0.0317. Then for 1000 cu ft you will need 31.7 pounds of FM-200. The exact number is .034 pounds per cu ft or protected room. See NFPA 2000 for...
