2015 MINNESOTA STATE FIRE CODE 487 <br />APPENDIX G <br />CRYOGENIC FLUIDS—WEIGHT AND VOLUME EQUIVALENTS <br />This appendix is for information purposes and is not intended for adoption. <br />SECTION G101 <br />GENERAL <br />G101.1 Scope. This appendix is used to convert from liquid <br />to gas for cryogenic fluids. <br />G101.2 Conversion. Table G101.2 shall be used to deter- <br />mine the equivalent amounts of cryogenic fluids in either the <br />liquid or gas phase. <br />G101.2.1 Use of the table. To use Table G101.2, read <br />horizontally across the line of interest. For example, to <br />determine the number of cubic feet of gas contained in 1.0 <br />gallon (3.785 L) of liquid argon, find 1.000 in the column <br />entitled “Volume of Liquid at Normal Boiling Point.” <br />Reading across the line under the column entitled “Vol- <br />ume of Gas at NTP” (70°F and 1 atmosphere/14.7 psia), <br />the value of 112.45 cubic feet (3.184 m3) is found. <br />G101.2.2 Other quantities. If other quantities are of <br />interest, the numbers obtained can be multiplied or divided <br />to obtain the quantity of interest. For example, to deter- <br />mine the number of cubic feet of argon gas contained in a <br />volume of 1,000 gallons (3785 L) of liquid argon at its <br />normal boiling point, multiply 112.45 by 1,000 to obtain <br />112,450 cubic feet (3184 m3). <br />Copyright © 2016 ICC.
