Episode 116: Show Notes

I am so grateful for the members of the Scaling UP! Nation! I have the best audience in all of podcasting. To great content every week every episode, I beg the Nation! to help me by asking questions they would like for me to answer. The Nation! has responded to that call once again!\xa0\xa0

Today, a friend of the show, Eric Russo, of episode 111, asks about the rules of thumb when it comes to determining volume in a closed-loop system. If you have ever heard me speak on this topic, you know I don't trust rules of thumb. But I do accept math.\xa0\xa0

WARNING: This episode contains MATH. Today's episode is about how I use math to determine how much volume is in a closed-loop system.\xa0

Below are the calculations I talk about on the show.\xa0

Estimating System Volume:\xa0

\u03a0r2\xa0x 7.48 x pipe\u2019\xa0

  • \u03a0 = 3.14\xa0
  • R = half the pipe diameter and then square that number (must be in feet)\xa0
  • Pipe = 7.48 the conversion to get feet of pipe into gallons\xa0

Titration\xa0Drop Manipulation:\xa0

SDC / (NV / OV) = NDC\xa0

  • SDC= Standard or\xa0Original\xa0drop count in ppm\xa0
  • NDC = New drop count in ppm\xa0
  • NV = New volume\xa0
  • OV = Original volume\xa0

Volume Calculation:\xa0

(120,000\xa0x\xa0NaNO2) / \u0394 x (conversion) = Gallons in the system\xa0

  • NaNO2 = the lbs. Of sodium nitrite added to the system\xa0
  • \u0394 = the change in NaNO2 in the system from your\xa0addition\xa0
  • Conversion = if you are using a nitrite test (not a sodium nitrite test),\xa0you will need to account for the fact you added sodium nitrite and only tested for nitrite.\xa0 The conversion will be 1.5\xa0
  • 120,000 the conversion/axiom that 1 pound of anything in 1,000 gallons of water will\xa0yield\xa0120 ppm\xa0

What we add / what we test = conversion factor\xa0
