How to convert pphm ozone concentration into Mpa ?
The differences in atmospheric pressure can influence the effective ozone concentration, and hence the result, when the ozone concentration is expressed in parts per billion (or parts per hundred million) by volume. This effect can be eliminated by expressing the ozone content of the ozonized air in terms of the partial pressure of ozone, i.e. in millipascals, and making comparisons at constant ozone partial pressure. Under standard conditions of atmospheric pressure and temperature (101kPa, 273K), an ozone concentration of 10ppb is equivalent to an ozone partial pressure of 1,01mPa. For further guidance, please refer to ISO 1431-3.
