Fuel Gas Flow Conv

This document contains flow rate data for three streams including mass flow rate, pressure, temperature, molar weight, gas constant, density, and volumetric flow rate. It also provides notes on converting between normal cubic meters per hour (Nm3/hr), standard cubic meters per hour (Sm3/hr), and actual cubic meters per hour (Am3/hr) using temperature and pressure ratios based on absolute scales.

Nm3/hr - Normal Metres Cubed per Hour
This is at a Temp of 0 deg C and 1013mbarA

Sm3/hr - Standard Metres cubed per hour


This is an old throw back from SCFM and based on 60 Deg F and Atmospheric pressure..............i.e. 1013 mbarA and 15.6 Deg C

Am3/hr - Actual Metres cubed per hour


As it says "Actual" at the temperature and pressure conditions stated.

To convert Nm3/hr to Sm3/hr it's a ratio of the absolute temperatures -


(The difference between 0 and 15.5 deg C)

10 Nm3/hr *(15.6+273)/ (0+273) = 10.57 Sm3/hr

Where -273 is absolute zero on the temperature scale.

To convert either of the above to Am3/hr or m3/hr (as normally written)


you need to convert both the temperature and pressure ratios

10 Nm3/hr ..... To Am3/hr at 20 deg C and +2 bar G (Two bar above atmospheric)

10 Nm3/hr *(20+273)/ (0+273)*(1013/1013+2000) = 3.6 Am3/hr

A way to think of the above is:


You heated the volume to start with to 20 degC .... It therefore it got bigger.....Then you squeezed it at a higher pressure...It shr

Just remember to convert using the absolute Temperatures and Pressures and you can't go wrong
