Description

This calculates calorific values, density, relative density and Wobbe index from a gas composition. Results are calculated for the composition treated as both a real and an ideal gas, inferior (net) and superior (gross) calorific value and Wobbe index are displayed in each case.

Options

Hydrocarbon Tail

• No Tail
• C6 Tail
• C7 Tail
• C9 Tail

Select the appropriate hydrocarbon tail. Where a tail is selected the percentage split of each component is entered, this is generally obtained from laboratory analysis.

Molecular Weights

• Rounded
• Full Precision

This option gives the choice to use the rounded molecular weights as shown in Table 1, or calculate the molecular weights with full precision using the elemental molars masses shown beneath Table 1 of ISO 6976.

Calculation

This performs the calculations from C111 when set for 2003. It calculates gas properties at ISO standard conditions (15°C/15°C & 1.01325bar)
