Mixing two gases to get desired ppm
« on: December 02, 2010, 04:53:47 AM »
I have to mix 2 gases, Hydrogen and Nitrogen to achieve a constant flow of mixed gas with 100, 200... 1000 ppm of H2 in the mixture.

I have mass flow meters to adjust the flow of each individual gas but how do I determine what they should read to achieve each of the desired ppm combinations

In chemistry of gases, ppm usually stands for "ppm by volume". If this is what you need to achieve, than Hydrogen flow needs to be 100/1,000,000; 200/1,000,000 ; and 1,000/1,000,000 of the Nitrogen flow correspondingly.
