Conversion Tools

Use our examples below to convert pressure, flow, force or heat.

Convert various units of pressure using the below table:

For example, If you would like to know what the equivalent of 1 BAR is in Inch Hg., you would go to the ‘BAR’ row (brown) and then match it up with the Inch ‘Hg’ column (yellow). 1 BAR = 29.5300 Inch Hg.

Convert various units of flow using the table below:

For example, if you would like to know what the equivalent of 1 cubic feet per minute (CFM) is in liters per minute (L/Min), you would find the “Cubic Feet per Min” row (brown) and then match it up with the “Liters per Min” column (yellow)

1 Cubic Feet per Min (CFM) = 28.3168 Litres per Min (L/Min)

From / To Cubic Feet per Min. Cubic Meter per Min. Gallons per Min. Litres per Min.
Cubic Feet per Min. 1 0.0283 7.4805 28.3168

Gallons per Min. 0.1337 0.0038 1 3.7854
Litres per Min. 0.0353 0.001 0.2642 1

Convert various units of flow using the table below:

For example, If Suzie would like to know what the equivalent of 1 Ounce (oz) is in Pounds (lbs). She would look for the ‘Ounce’ row (brown) and then match it up with the ‘Pound’ column (yellow).

1 Ounce (oz) = 0.0625 Pounds (lbs)

From / To Pound Ounce Kilogram
Pound 1 16 0.4536
Ounce 35.3147 1 0.0283
Kilogram 2.2046 35.27396195 1

Convert various units of pressure using the table below:

For example, if you would like to know what the equivalent of 1 WATT is in BTU/min, you would find the “Watt” row (brown) and then match it up with the “BTU/Min” column (yellow).

1 Watt = 0.0569 BTU/Min.

From / To BTU / Hr. BTU / Min. Ton (Refrigeration) Kilocalorie / Sec. Watt
BTU / Hr. 1 0.0167 8.33E-05 7.00E-05 0.2928

Below is an example demonstrating how you can easily calculate the air consumption at different inlet pressures. If you need assistance, call us at +1-705-770-4455 or click here to email an Application Engineer.

EXAMPLE: A Model 7504 Vortex Tube consumes 4 SCFM @ 100 PSIG (113 SLPM @ 6.89 BAR). To calculate the airflow with an inlet pressure of 60 PSIG (4.1369 BAR), follow the below steps:

1 Atmosphere (ATM) = 14.7 (PSI)

1 (SCFM) = 28.3168 (SLPM)

1 (PSI) = .0689 (BAR)

STEP 1: Determine the ratio of absolute inlet pressures.

English Metric
60 (PSIG) + 14.7 = 74.7
100 (PSIG) + 14.7 = 114.7
74.7 divided by 114.7 = 0.6512 is the Ratio
4.1369 (BAR) + 1.0135 = 5.1504
6.8948 (BAR) + 1.0135 = 7.9083
5.1504 divided by 7.9083 = 0.6512 is the Ratio

STEP 2: Multiply the above Ratio by the known factor (4 SCFM).

English Metric
4 (SCFM) x 0.6512 = 2.6048 SCFM
Therefore Model 7504 Vortex Tube operating at 60 PSIG will consume just 2.6048 SCFM.
113 (SLPM) x 0.6512 = 73.5856
Therefore Model 7504 Vortex Tube operating at 4.1369 BAR will consume just 73.585 SLPM.
