    This document describes a natural gas density calculator that takes in temperature, pressure, and gas composition percentages to calculate the density of natural gas. It provides the inputs, graphs of density vs pressure at different temperatures, a breakdown of gas composition, and outputs the calculated temperature, pressure, density, compression factor, molar mass, and molar density. Notes explain that the calculator uses the AGA8 detailed characterization equation to determine density under certain pressure, temperature, calorific value, and gas composition conditions outlined.

    Notes
    This calculator determines the mass density of natural gas using the AGA8 detailed
    characterization equation (i.e. AGA8-92DC). It is valid subject to the following conditions:

     Absolute pressure: 0 MPa ≤ p ≤ 65 MPa


     Temperature: 225 K ≤ T ≤ 350 K
     Superior calorific value: 20 MJ/m³ ≤ HS ≤ 48 MJ/m³
     Relative density: 55% ≤ d ≤ 90%
     Methane: 50% ≤ xCH₄ ≤ 100%
     Nitrogen: 0% ≤ xN₂ ≤ 50%
     Carbon dioxide 0% ≤ xCO₂ ≤ 30%
     Ethane 0% ≤ xC₂H₆ ≤ 20%
     Propane 0% ≤ xC₃H₈ ≤ 5%
     Hydrogen 0% ≤ xH₂ ≤ 10%
