1、Designation: D4784 93 (Reapproved 2015)Standard Specification forLNG Density Calculation Models1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D4784; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A
2、 number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONThis specification is a description of four mathematical models of the equation of state for LNG-likemixtures that were adopted in 198
3、8. The four models include an extended corresponding states model,a cell model, a hard sphere model, and a revised Klosek and McKinley model. Each of the models hasbeen optimized to the same experimental data set which included data for pure nitrogen, methane,ethane, propane, iso and normal butane,
4、iso and normal pentane, and mixtures thereof. For LNG-likemixtures (mixtures of the orthobaric liquid state at temperatures of 120K or less and containing at least60 % methane, less than 4 % nitrogen, less than 4 % each of iso and normal butane, and less than 2 %total of iso and normal pentane), all
5、 of the models are estimated to predict densities to within 0.1 %of the true value. These models were developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology(formerly the Bureau of Standards) upon culmination of seven years of effort in acquiring physicalproperties data, performing extensive
6、 experimental measurements using specially developedequipment, and in using these data to develop predictive models for use in density calculations.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers LNG density calculation mod-els2for use in the calculation or prediction of the densities ofsaturated LNG mixtures
7、 from 90 to 120K to within 0.1 % oftrue values given the pressure, temperature, and composition ofthe mixture.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety con
8、cerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Significance and Use2.1 The models in this specification can be used to calcul
9、atethe density of saturated liquid natural gas in the temperaturerange 90 to 120K. The estimated uncertainty for the densitycalculations is 60.1 %. The restrictions on composition of theliquefied natural gas are:methane 60 % or greaternitrogen less than 4 %n-butane less than 4 %i-butane less than 4
10、%pentanes less than 2 %It is assumed that hydrocarbons with carbon numbers of sixor greater are not present in the LNG solution.3.
