Demystify: 

Good (?) morning,

I am trying to determine the minimum exhaust for hydrogen gas (not liquified) and see that in NFPA 55, section 6.17.3.2 requires a minimum exhaust of 1 scf/min/ft2. I had to look up scf--it is 'standard cubic foot' and is defined as 1 cubic foot of natural gas at 60F and normal atmospheric pressure.

If I know the size of the room and air changes per hour, is it possible to calculate my exhaust without doing an experiment?

MANY thanks!
Margaret
