: : : Need to know how to calculate flow rate of Argon in a 1'4" pipe, sch 40, at 30 psi if this pipe is 40' long and was left open ended to atmosphere.

See the link below to an online calculator
"Hint: To Calculate a Flowrate
You can solve for flowrate from a known pressure drop using this calculator (instead of solving for a pressure drop from a known flowrate or velocity).
Proceed by guessing the velocity and inspecting the calculated pressure drop. Refine your velocity guess until the calculated pressure drop matches your data."
