: I am trying to size a Gas Fired Superheater, the customer has given me a Steam Flow Rate of 200 SCFM, can any body convert to Lbs/Hour, if so please advise how.
Can't do magic here.
You need to get more info from your customer. SCFM denotes STP conditions, must use gas laws to convert to find volumetric flow at operating conditions, also need specific volume at operating conditions from steam tables. Easy dimensional analaysis after that.
