How do you convert leak rates?

Answer 1

To convert leak rates, you first need to identify the units of the leak rate you are starting with (e.g., liters per minute, cubic feet per hour). Use a conversion factor to change it to the desired unit, ensuring that the factor aligns with the measurements (e.g., 1 liter = 0.264 gallons, or 1 cubic meter = 35.3147 cubic feet). You can find these conversion factors in reference tables or online. Finally, multiply the original leak rate by the conversion factor to obtain the rate in the new units.
