Calculation of Flow From Pinhole

The document provides technical specifications for gas flow rates through holes, properties of gases including air, steam, and hydrogen, and calculations regarding the flammability of a mixed gas stream. It includes parameters like temperature, pressure, molecular weight, flow rates in kg/hr and NM3/hr, and explosive limits for different gases. It also calculates the relative composition and lower/higher explosive limits of flammable gases in the mixture.
