My argon bottle regulator is marked in pounds per hour, how do I convert
this into liters per timescale, as most info I have uses the volume per
timescale measurement for gas flow setting? Thanks.

Well, 40 grams of argon occupies about 22.4 litres at ambient temperature
and pressure. So for your purposes a pound of argon will be near enough 250
litres.

Hi Chris,

This little program may or may not do what you want:

http://joshmadison.net/software/convert/

It isn't very big and seems to work okay. If you decide to
try it out, click on the "flow" tab and try using the
"ounce/hour" for input. Maybe 16 ounces per hour would equal
a pound? I'm not so sure in this application. I didn't see a
pound per hour choice... The output would be "liter/hour" I
believe. If you have a rough idea of what the numbers should
be you can probably determine whether or not the conversions
are working right.

Good grief, I have had "Convert" on my PC's for years, and i never thought
to look in there, it works fine, do I feel dumb or what? Many thanks for
the reply!
