Absolutely. I think I said liquid liter equivalents early on but I may have dropped that in the replies. We have standardized on liquid liter equivalents since it is easier to visualize and is what we as experimenters/users of the facility think in. The gas is delivered in 100SCF and priced that way which is ugly. The storage tanks are in gaseous gallons.

So we talk about quantities stored and transferred in liquid liter equivalents. However all our flows (purifier, magnet cooling, liquefier) are in grams/sec. Go figure.

It is a lot. And trying to keep losses down to a minimum is becoming more and more financially important.
