Some rates were acquired through testing that I had done and will be noted with[*].
Some rates are what is measured when the valves are all the way open. Other rates are what is measured when running the largest usable flame. I feel that these are the most useful numbers and will note them with [++]
Disclaimer: While I have made every effort to ensure that this information is correct, I cannot gaurantee it. Use this data at your own risk.
Most of these rates are listed as cubic feet per hour (CFH). To convert to LPM, multiply by 0.472.
Where I have both oxygen and fuel consumption rates listed, I list the oxygen rate first. Fuel will be for propane unless otherwise noted.
