Derivation of Total Air in ml/L to TPO in ppb

Total air composition


78 Nitrogen %
20.95 Oxygen %
0.93 Argon %
0.04 CO2%

1000ml Airis equivalent to 209.5 ml of oxygen

1 mole of oxygen = 16gm/22.4 Ltr at STP *Avogadro theory

0.714285714286 gms/Ltr
714 mg/Ltr
714286 microgms/Ltr (TPO in ppb)

For Example 1.54 ml/L of Total Air = 1.54X209.5/1000 ml of oxygen


= 230450 microgms per ml
= 230.45 microgms/Ltr = TPO in ppb

OR =1.54*20.95%*16/22.4*1000

OR multiplication factor for converting Total air in ml/L to TPO in ppb


149.64

example
Total is 1.54ml/L then TPO is 1.54X149.64
230.45 ppb
