being used to measure the flow of propane. The reading from the meter is multiplied by the GCF for
propane divided by the GCF of air.
20 * (0.3499/1.0015) = 6.9875
To calculate a target setting (20 sccm) to achieve a desired flow rate of propane using a meter calibrated to
air, invert the ratio above and multiply.
20 * (1.0015/0.3499) = 57.2449
