35、pid phase transitionSEP surface emissive power5 General characteristics of LNG5.1 GeneralIt is recommended that all personnel concerned with the handling of LNG should be familiar with both the characteristics of the liquid and the gas produced.The potential hazard in handling LNG stems mainly from
36、three important properties.a) It is extremely cold. At atmospheric pressure, depending upon composition, LNG boils at about 160 C. At this temperature, the vapour is denser than ambient air.b) Very small quantities of liquid are converted into large volumes of gas. One volume of LNG produces approxi
37、mately 600 volumes of gas.c) Natural gas, similar to other gaseous hydrocarbons, is flammable. At ambient conditions, the flammable mixture range with air is from approximately 5 % to 15 % gas by volume. If vapour accumulates in a confined space, ignition can result in detonation and shock wave over
38、pressure.This International Standard focuses on LNG, its properties, and resultant hazards. When evaluating the hazards at an LNG site, designers need to consider all systems present. Often, the LNG itself does not present the greatest hazard; other systems such as LPG-based refrigeration at the liq
39、uefaction plant or high pressure gas send out at a regasification plant can dominate the overall site risk profile.5.2 Properties of LNG5.2.1 CompositionLNG is a mixture of hydrocarbons composed predominantly of methane and which can contain minor quantities of ethane, propane, butane, nitrogen, or
40、other components, normally found in natural gas. The physical and thermodynamic properties of methane and other components of natural gas can be found in reference books (see Annex A) and thermodynamic calculation codes. Although the major constituent of LNG is methane, it should not be assumed that
41、 LNG is pure methane for the purpose of estimating its behaviour. When analysing the composition of LNG, special care should be taken to obtain representative samples not causing false analysis results due to distillation effects. The most common method is to analyse a small stream of continuously e
42、vaporated product using a specific LNG sampling device that is designed to provide a representative gas sample of liquid without fractionation. Another method is to take a sample from the outlet of the main product vaporizers. This sample can then be analysed by normal gas chromatographic methods, s
43、uch as those described in ISO 6568 or ISO 6974.5.2.2 DensityThe density of LNG depends on the composition and usually ranges from 420 kg/m3to 470 kg/m3, but in some cases can be as high as 520 kg/m3. Density is also a function of the liquid temperature with a gradient 2 ISO 2015 All rights reservedB
44、S EN ISO 16903:2015ISO 16903:2015(E)of about 1,4 kg/m3/K. Density can be measured directly but is generally calculated from composition determined by gas chromatographic analysis. The method as defined in ISO 6578 is recommended.NOTE This method is generally known as revised Klosek-McKinley method.5
45、.2.3 TemperatureLNG has a boiling temperature depending on composition and usually ranging from 166 C to 157 C at atmospheric pressure. The variation of the boiling temperature with the vapour pressure is about 1,25 104C/Pa. The temperature of LNG is commonly measured by using copper/copper nickel t
46、hermocouples or using platinum resistance thermometers such as those defined in ISO 8310.5.2.4 ViscosityThe viscosity of LNG depends on the composition and is usually from 1,0 104to 2,0 104Pat 160 C, which is nearly 1/10 to 1/5 of the water. Viscosity is also a function of the liquid temperature.5.2

Any heat leak into the tank causes some of the liquid to evaporate as a gas. This gas is known as boil-off gas. The composition of the boil-off gas depends on the composition of the liquid.
