Calculations
Density
When solving for density the temperature correction according to Table 54 is applied followed by the pressure correction according to IP Paper 2.
Standard Density
When solving for standard density an iterative calculation is performed making use of the Table 54 and IP Paper 2 algorithms. An initial estimate is taken for standard density based upon the entered density. This value is then fed into the Table 54 temperature correction algorithm to gain the Ctl. The estimate for standard density is then taken into the IP Paper 2 pressure correction algorithm to gain the Cpl. The Ctl and Cpl are then fed into the below formula to gain a new estimate of standard density. The process is repeated until standard density values converge to within 10-6.
