Argon bottle regulator scaling?

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:

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!
