G101.2.2 Other Quantities

2010 Fire Code of NY > G Cryogenic Fluids-Weight and Volume Equivalents > G101 General > G101.2 Conversion > G101.2.2 Other Quantities
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
If other quantities are of interest, the numbers obtained can be multiplied or divided to obtain the quantity of interest. For example, to determine the number of cubic feet of argon gas contained in a volume of 1,000 gallons (3785 L) of liquid argon at its normal boiling point, multiply 112.45 by 1,000 to obtain 112,450 cubic feet (3184 m3).

For SI: 1 pound = 0.454 kg, 1 gallon = 3.785 L, 1 cubic foot = 0.02832 m3, °C = [(°F)-32]/1.8, 1 pound per square inch atmosphere = 6.895 kPa.
  1. The values listed for liquefied natural gas (LNG) are "typical" values. LNG is a mixture of hydrocarbon gases, and no two LNG streams have exactly the same composition.
