The nitrogen bottle in question has a capacity of 2.2 liters and is pressurized to 110 Bar. When flowing at a rate of 1 liter per minute, the bottle can last approximately 242 minutes, calculated based on the total volume of gas available at atmospheric pressure. However, if the output is set to 9 liters per minute, the flow duration decreases to around 30 minutes, indicating that the flow rate significantly impacts the total usage time. The discussion clarifies the importance of understanding both the pressure and flow rate when estimating gas supply duration.
PREREQUISITESThis discussion is beneficial for engineers, laboratory technicians, and anyone involved in experiments requiring precise gas flow measurements and calculations, particularly in fields utilizing compressed gases.
Usually the rated volume is at atmospheric pressure. Is this a really little bottle?Craig K said:I need to know how long a nitrogen bottle will flow for. It is 2.2 Litres 110Bar. I want it to flow at around 1 litre per minute to do an experiment. How long will it last? Sorry if this is a really dumb question.
