▪ Relative Density
– (mass) density of a gas divided by the density of (dry) air of reference
composition at the same specified temperature and pressure (T2,P2)
▪ Fundamental values
– kJ/mol for ideal gas at 25 oC, 101.325 kPa
– For other temperatures (T1) use ideal gas enthalpy (Ho) (from ideal gas heat
capacity equation, Cp0)
– For reactants and products
– Any effect of pressure (P1) ignored (true for ideal gas)
▪ New measurements (dated 2015) published after the standard was written
▪ For completeness :-
– Z = 1 – (P2/101.325)×[ Xi×Si ]2
– Can be considered as a 2-term pressure virial equation of state
– Z = 1 + B×P/(R×T) B second virial coefficient
– P2 90 to 110 kPa (13.05 to 15.95 psia)
– Z > 0.9 (generally natural gas Z > 0.98)
– Si component summation factors
– At metering reference temperature (T2)
– Obtained from reference equations of state (as in NIST RefProp program) or
from GERG-2008 equation of state (ISO 20765:2, AGA-8 part 2 (2017))
▪ ISO TC 193 / SC 1 / WG 18
– Ongoing work to review latest measurements and definitions
– Methane CV
– Atomic weights
– R
