Convert between Pa, ppm and mg/m3
Enter the molecular weight and the working temperature, and one only of vapour pressure (Pa) or airborne concentration in ppm or mg/m3

Averages


Enter a value, click on the button or hit [Enter] and repeat.

This calculator is optimised for face velocity readings in m/s to 2 decimal places so there is no need to enter a decimal point.

eg A value of 145 will be transposed to 1.45; 26 will become 0.26 etc

Air density

The standard air density at 20°C and 1013mb barometric pressure is 1.2 kg/m3.
Enter a different temperature or pressure value in the appropriate box.
