![]() ![]() Stating an air flow in units of SCFM makes it easy to compare conditions, and certain calculations simpler. Since the air density of an air flow stated at standard conditions (SCFM) is always the same, it is essentially a mass flow rate! If we take Air for example, Air density at standard conditions is. In general, the standard pressure is close to atmospheric pressure and the standard temperature is close to the ambient temperature value. ![]() These standards depend on the organization that defines them. There are different standards that define different temperature and pressure values. Once the volume is calculated, we can convert the calculated amount into an amount of moles or mass of gas. ![]() Therefore, we can use the reference temperature and pressure conditions to specify the volume of gas measured under those conditions. It is necessary to define the corresponding temperature and pressure conditions for the volume measurement. The reason is very simple, the volume of a constant number of moles of gas depends on the measurements of temperature and pressure.ĭue to this reason, whenever the quantity of gas is specified in terms of gas volume, Normal or Standard temperature and pressure conditions are generally used. Standard or normal conditions are used as reference values in thermodynamics of gases.
