: Hi Gordon!
:
: I would like to know more about "unusual" flow rate unit, i.e. NL/mn or SL/mn. What is all about actually? And how about the conversion to the standard unit of flow rate for example liter/minute?? It's very important to evaluate of the gas distribution system of our detonation spray units. Thank you.

Hi Yuli
When dealing with volumetric measurement it is important that temperature and pressure are taken into account. A unit like litres per minute is not very useful if the temperature and pressure are not known at time of measurement. To complicate the issue different standards use different values of temperature (SCFH @ 70 F, NLPM @ 0 C).
