What Lpm of flow is recommended please.

I know this has been a few times but to no avail.

Thanks.

Consensus is 15LPM for 30 minutes minimum. Do you know the total volume of your tank? There's a math formula to figure it out, but I don't remember it right now.

Hi.
Thanks for the reply.

The tank says 9.4 Ltr.

Unless i messed up somewhere, it looks like you have a total of 1153L.
Edit: Didn't see the 9.4 correction. You'll have more than I stated obviously.

Arh right.
More than enough then.

But would the flow rate be the same as 15 LPM.

I am using an Argon regulator though.

What gas is in the tank? You'll have to figure out the proper reading because Argon is heavier, so it takes less to get the float to 15. Also, do you have a flow meter?

I have a Nitrogen tank.
And this is the Regulator.

Flow meter shows on the right.
