hello list,

just for fun programming, i'm writing a palm pda application for =
gasmixing.  The programm will be freeware.

My gasmixer will have vdWaals algoritm and all kind of extra's in it; =
f.e. it can be used =20

a. to mix the 300bar with 10 % overfill (5000 psi ) ;
b. check the mix with a 85 euro balance ( theoretically helium accurate =
within 1% ) ;
c. displaying sensor signals like O2, pressure, ..... ;
d. just name it .... 256 Mb is a lot of programming code.

Anyhow ... a lot is allready programmed ...  in dutch with metric units. =
 Also now i'm converting it into
English with switch for metric/imperial units.=20

But at the moment i have a problem with the cuft cylinder capacity.  In =
the Metric system we define
cylinders with water capacity and max. fill pressure.  f.e. we have =
12l/200bar, 12l/232bar and 12l/300bar.
   It's very easy to integrate this water capacity into the vdWaals =
algorithm's.  To use imperial units,
the cuft capacity has to be converted into water/ 14.5 psi capacity. =20

 http://www.mdaguam.com/tankspecs.htm  and the conclusion that the =
convertion cannot be done with=20
a algorithm.  f.e.( according this ) the cuft of the low pressure =
cylinders =3D water capacity * fill pressure
+ 10 % ???????????????????????      hellllllllllllllllllllppppppppppp.   =
 When i see the high presssure
cylinders 80 cuft =3D 77.4 cuft , and here it looks like that + 15% is =
choosen ????????????    more
help.

Are these data correct ?   isn't there any defintion of the cuft ?   So =
when this correct, the only way to let
my programm function with imperial units, is to bring in a lot of =
database with all kind of cylinders and
an interface to choose one of them. ( that's for fun ???)

please give me some information/advice   =20

Frank
