 Dedication
The Gas Processors Suppliers Association respectively dedicates this Eleventh Edition of
the Engineering Data Book in memory of Daniel W. Kemp. Dan served as a member of the
GPSA Editorial Review Board through three different publications of the Engineering
Data Book (the Ninth, Tenth, and 1980 SI Editions) and was actively working on this
Eleventh Edition at the time of his death in 1996.

Dan Kemp received his Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering from Purdue Uni-
versity in 1957. Upon graduation he entered the gas processing industry by joining Cities
Service as a plant engineer. He held various technical and managerial positions with Cit-
ies Service, later Occidental, and even later with Trident NGL before going into private
consulting. He spent his career involved in virtually every aspect of the gas processing in-
dustry including plant engineering, process design, operations, maintenance, measure-
ment, and safety; and was considered by most to be a career gas processing technical
expert.

Throughout his career he gave freely of his technical and leadership talents to industry
groups involved in the natural gas business — notably GPA and API. He came up through
GPA’s ranks the hard way by presenting a number of technical papers and serving in lead-
ership roles along the way. He served as chairman of Section G, Data Collection and Publi-
cation, from 1980 to 1984; he served on the Technical Committee from 1985 to 1995 and as
its chairman from 1986 to 1988. He was also chairman of GPA’s Task Force on Odorization
and co-chairman of the industry’s Joint Task Force on Odorization.

Dan was instrumental in the industry’s acceptance of mass measurement of light liquid
hydrocarbons using the turbine meter. His presentation of the concept in 1967 helped edu-
cate the industry on an important tool which has been adopted by virtually the entire gas
liquids industry.

As chairman of the American Petroleum Institute’s Committee on Petroleum Measure-

ment, he helped organize and develop an extensive, industry-wide project to update 50-
year-old basic orifice flow coefficients. This work, when completed, resulted in the
adoption of a revised industry standard on measurement of natural gas for custody trans-
fer.

In 1986, when the propane industry was reeling from lawsuits and allegations that ethyl
mercaptan was an ineffective odorizing agent for propane, he became the industry’s driv-
ing force in forming an industry-wide task force to address the issue. The task force re-
sponded by directing vital human response testing research; by publishing a "Report of
Investigations" which became a fundamental tool to respond to many of the earlier accusa-
tions; by developing low-cost, accurate test methods for quantifying the amount of ethyl
mercaptan in propane; and by initiating a joint research project to investigate potential
techniques for cylinder surface passivation.

In 1991 he was honored by his peers by receiving the gas processing industry’s highest
honor, the GPA Hanlon Award. Dan will be remembered as a working leader in the gas
processing industry and one who personified the high integrity of its people. The Gas Proc-
essors Suppliers Association respectively dedicates this edition of the Engineering Data
Book in Dan’s memory.

 Preface to the Eleventh Edition
The Gas Processors Suppliers Association is an organiza-
tion of companies with specialized knowledge of the sup-
ply and service needs of the gas processing and related
industries. A major service to them is embodied in the En-
gineering Data Book, which was first published in 1935.
Over 135,000 copies of the Ninth and Tenth Editions of
the English-unit book were distributed for use throughout
the world by engineers, operating personnel, and students.
This Eleventh Edition of the Engineering Data Book,
available in two versions — FPS and SI — is an attempt
to assemble, in a single compilation, basic design informa-
tion together with data and procedures that can be used
by field and plant engineers to determine operating and
design parameters. It is also intended as an aid to design
A Brief History of the Engineering Data Book and Sponsoring Organizations
The GPSA Engineering Data Book was first published
in 1935 as a booklet containing much advertising and a lit-
tle technical information. In subsequent editions, techni-
cal information was expanded and the Data Book
gradually became the accepted engineering reference
work for the gas processing industry. In addition, the Data
Book has found wide acceptance in the petroleum refin-
ing, gas transmission, and petrochemical industries.
The Gas Processors Suppliers Association (GPSA) was
organized in 1928 as the Natural Gasoline Supply Men’s
Association (NGSMA). Its principal purpose was as a serv-
ice organization to the parent Natural Gasoline Associa-
tion of America (NGAA).

quire a general reference work as a guide to accepted
engineering practice for estimating, feasibility studies,
preliminary design, and for making on-site operating deci-
sions.
The loose-leaf format of the Data Book permits periodic
updating to meet the changing technology of the process
industries.
GPSA recognizes that the maintenance of the Data Book
is a continuing task. Users’ comments and suggestions are

Both organizations underwent name changes in sub-
sequent years in response to changing industry condi-
tions. In 1961, the organizations became known as the
Natural Gas Processors Association (NGPA) and the Natu-
ral Gas Processors Suppliers Association (NGPSA). In
1974 the names changed to the current Gas Processors As-
sociation (GPA) and Gas Processors Suppliers Association
(GPSA).

ences throughout the book may refer to publications of
these organizations by the names in effect at the time of
