Okay so i am trying to determine the factor of error whilst using an Argon Gas Flow Regulator with Nitrogen Gas.
Finding the answer to such a question is proving ever more difficult so I ran a test
using half a tank of Nitrogen which initially contained 2 litres of gas at 200 bar
Given that the tank had initially contained 400 Liters of Nitrogen gas and was now at a reading of 100 Bar,
i am assuming that I had 200 Liters of gas remaining.
After setting the regulator to 10 LPM it took 6 mins for the regulator to reach the tank 50 Bar mark.
At this point the flow meter had gone from 10 LPM to 11 LMP so i readjusted the flow meter to give
a reading of 10 LPM and the gas flowed for another 6 mins before the flow rate began to slow down.
This would mean that using a 10 LPM / 11 LPM reading. That 200 Liters of Nitrogen took 12 minutes to deplete.
This would mean that the true flow rate was actually 16 LPM and not 10 LPM.
Any Thoughts?
