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 the desired ppm

Parts per million of what? Mass? Volume? Molecule count?
 
ppm of volume in the container... sorry for being vague. the container has a volume of 2l.

Also, without using the mass flow controllers, if i were to just fill in the container with hydrogen and nitrogen starting from vacuum, what should be the pressure to which i should fill up nitrogen and then add hydrogen to get the desired ppm
