SUMMARY
Calculating gas flow in cubic feet per minute (CFM) using pressure in pounds per square inch (PSI) and sound levels in decibels relative to a microvolt (dBuV) is not straightforward. The discussion highlights that sound levels are influenced by numerous variables, making it essential to calibrate the calculation for each specific application. The user is developing software to monitor air leaks with the Ultraprobe 9000, which necessitates understanding the relationship between these variables. Without prior knowledge of CFM, establishing a reliable equation is impractical.
