I have an argon piping system. The pressure is set at 50 psi. Assume no pressure drop. I have a flowmeter that is calibrated to run at 25 psi. Basically, I want to know what the "new" scale will be on the flowmeter as a result of the increased pressure (from 25 to 50 psi).

In other words, if the meter reads 100 SCFH @ 25psi, what would/should it read at 50 psi?

No, this one unfortunately is calibrated only for 25psi. Any deviation will result in needing a correction factor.
