    The volumes would be different on either side of the leak. Usually you standardise leak measurements to STP, and give it in standard cubic centimetres per second, SCC/s, i.e. ‘how much fluid would be escaping if it were in a room at one atmosphere of pressure at 20°C’. Makes it easier to compare.
