Appendix 2 Conversion Coefficient of Common Gas
According to different gas on site, the calibration in lab translates the flow rate of actual gas on site
into flow rate of air, and then begins to calibrate the flow rate at present. Therefore, when using the meter
on site, the meter displays mass flow or volume flow of actual gas.
When translating the flow rate of gas into flow rate of air, there is a conversion coefficient table of different
gas.
