Thanks David.
I did a quick search on the net and found one or two conversion charts which
didnt have mws.
Cheers
Ian

  Hi all
  Can someone help me out here.
  If youve looked at my hoto,
  http://www.hammaskeep.demon.co.uk/process.jpg
  my methoxide mixer is to the right, the grey tank.
  Now I'm concerned, as so far for my initial test batch I poured the
  methanol/methoxide straight in to the reactor (2 stage process). But I'm
 now
  wanting to use suction to deliver the methanol/methoxide. Will this pose
a
  problem with boiling?
  Its having to lift approx 30 vua 15mm pipe amb temp 15 - 20oC
  Also I  need some help with vacuum pressure.
  I see most measure by Hg I have a gauge which shows mws which goes to
  -10.
  Does anyone have figures and conversion for vacuum pressures. I need to
 know
  if my vac pump is capable of reclaiming methanol.
  I think it is, as its a corker of a unit, I just dont know what its
 measured
  capability is.
  Thanks
  Ian
