Note that ierential pressure an/or gas expansion actor ay liit the availability o even stanar beta ratios. In a liqui application, beta ratios shoul not be use that cause static le pressure us the ierential pressure to be less than the lui s vapor pressure. In vapor or gas applications, beta ratios shoul not be use that generate a gas expansion actor less than 0.8.
