13. Conversion to other Working Conditions
The flow rate of your MAS is referenced to certain “standard” Conditions of
temperature and pressure. Unless otherwise specified in your order, these
standard conditions are 21
°
C (70
°
F) and 760 mm of mercury (1 atmosphere). If
you wish to convert to other “standard” conditions or to find the “actual” conditions
in the pipe where your MAS is installed, use the following relationship:

P = Absolute pressure (kg/cm2 or psia), and
T = Absolute temperature (°K or °R) °K = °C + 273; °R = °F + 460)
Example 1 changing „standard“ conditions
If your MAS has a flow rate reading of 10.00 SLM and was calibrated at standard
conditions of 70 °F (21 °C) and 1 atmosphere (14.7 psia), and if you wish to
convert this reading to standard conditions of 32 °F (0 °C) and 1 atmosphere,
then you would use the equation as follows:

So, you can see that the flow rate referenced to 0 °C will be approximately 7%
lower than when referenced to conditions of 21 °C.
Example 2 Finding the “Actual” flow rate
If the flow rate and calibrated standard conditions are as given in Example 1 and
you wish to find the actual flow rate at 100 °F and 30 psig, then you would use
