Well cc/min is dependant on pressure (obviously), but once you have a flow
rate for a given pressure it is a relatively simple matter to recalculate
for different pressures (given the formula that someone else posted
recently).  IOW, I don't think this formula is only valid at 3 bar (44 psi)
and I'm pretty sure there's no parts missing.  Mind you, I'm not suggesting
that this is the absolute best method for these calculations, ie the
results should only be used as a guide.
