Gas Properties Calculator — sample pages

What it does

543 chemicals, A to Z

Chosen for fertilizer, oil and gas and chemical plants, in one alphabetical list for every industry.

Mixtures of up to 12

Presets for natural gas, air, flue gas and synthesis gases, or your own analysis in mole % or mass %.

Full real-gas properties

Z, density, cp and cv with the pressure correction, γ, speed of sound, Joule–Thomson coefficient, viscosity and thermal conductivity.

Heating values

HHV and LHV by mass and by volume, Wobbe index, stoichiometric air and flammability limits.

Hazard data

NFPA 704 ratings, GHS statements, flash point and autoignition temperature.

Every value traceable

Each value shows its source and a data class (A to D), so you know how far to trust it.

Built for engineers

  • Open, citable data — reference equations of state, NIST, IUPAC and other published sources; no values copied from handbooks.
  • Data class on every chemical — A (reference) to D (indicative), shown next to the result.
  • Published methods — Peng–Robinson, Chung, Wilke, Wagner and Le Chatelier, each cited in the Guide tab.
  • Built-in checks — warns when the gas would condense, near the critical point and outside each chemical's data range.

For engineering estimates; verify against site data. Code-based methods are aligned with the publicly documented procedure; they are not a licensed reproduction or a certification.

A worked case

The case: pure methane at 25 °C and 1.01325 bar a (any of 543 chemicals, or a mixture of up to 12, works the same way). The workbook gives: Z = 0.99775, density 0.6572 kg/m³, cp 2.233 kJ/kg·K, γ = 1.306, speed of sound 448 m/s, viscosity 11.19 µPa·s, conductivity 0.0343 W/m·K, HHV 55.52 MJ/kg (39.85 MJ/Nm³, 1,014 Btu/scf), Wobbe index 53.55 MJ/Nm³ and flammable limits 4.4–17.0 %, plus a table and charts of density and cp from 0 to 400 °C for the data sheet.
