Seope* 1.1 This practice describes the procedure for the intercon- version of the analysis of C, and lighter hydrocarbon mixtures to gas-volume (miole), liquid-volume, or mass basis. 1.2 The computation procedures described assume that ais-volume percentages have already been corrected for non- ideality ofthe components asa part of the analytical process by which they have been obtained. These are numerically the same as mole percentages 1.3 The procedure assumes the absence of nonadditivity corrections for mixtures of the pure liquid compounds. This is approximately true only for mixtures of hydrocarbons of the same number of carbon atoms, and in the absence of diolefins ind acetylenic compounds, 1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses after SI units are provided for information only and are not considered standard, 1S This standard does not purport 10 address all of the safety concems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro- priate safety, health, and environmemal practices and deter- ‘mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use 1.6 This international standard was developed in accor dance with internationally recognized principles on standard: ization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recom- ‘mendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBI) Committee. 2. Source of Data 2.1 The basic values for the relative density 15.6 °C/5.6°C (60 °F/60 °F) of the pure compounds have been obtained from TRC (formerly the Thermodynamics Research Center, and This practic is under he jrsdicton of ASTM Cornmitee D0? on Pstleum Prada, Lied Fuel, and Latvians and Ihe dct esponility Subcom mace DO2.HO om Liquefied Pokus ‘Curent dion proved Apc 1, 2021, Pabisd May 2021, Originally now part of NIST), except where otherwise noted. The values for methane, ethylene, and acetylene are not those of pure materials but are assumed to apply as a component of a liquid mixture, 2.2 The conversion factors for | mL of ideal gas at 15.6 °C (60 °F) and 101.325 kPa (760 mm Hg) to millilitres of liquid at 15.6 °C (60 *F) have been calculated as follows: For | mL gas at 15.6°C (60°F), 101.325 kPa (760 mm Hg), L 3.18 K/28871) x (M/22414) w > [1[[relative density) x (0.999016) ]} 2282 % 107 x Mitelatve density) = nililies liquid a 15.6 °C (60 °F) calculated liquid volume, mL, molecular weight, g-mol, calculated from V=nRT/P, 8314.472 mL kPa K* g-mot', 273.15 K, and 101.325 KPa, 2.3 Where ideal gas volumes have been measured at tem- peratures. and pressures. different from 15.6 °C (60°F) at 101.325 kPa (760-mm Hg), they shall be corrected (0 these conditions. 3 jeance and Use 3.1 For custody transfer and other purposes, itis frequently necessary to convert a component analysis of light hydrocar- bbon mixiure from one basis (either gas volume, liquid volume, (or mass) to another. 3.2 The component distribution data of light hydrocarbon mixtures can be used to calculate physical properties such as relative density, vapor-pressure, and calorific value. Consistent and accurate conversion data are extremely important when calculating vapor. liquid, or mass equivalence.

Procedure 4.1 To convert from the original to the desired basis, multiply or divide the percent of each compound in the original basis according to the schedule shown in Table 1. Perform the calculation, using the corresponding factor indicated in Table 2. Carry at least one more significant figure in all of the calculations than the number of significant figures in the original analysis, 4.1.1 The factors or percentages may be multiplied by any constant number for convenience (such as moving the decimal) without changing the end result. 4.2. Add the products or quotients obtained in accordance with 4.1 4.3 Multiply the products or quotients obtained in accor- dance with 4.1 by 100 divided by the sum of the products or quotients. Round off the results so that the same number of Significant figures is obtained in the final answer as was used in the original analysis, TABLE 1 Conversion Factors Scheduled Facior Cokin ‘Orginal Basis Desired Basi ‘Operation ees Gas von | vase Tray by + (Gas volume gud volume mute by 2 Mase 2s volume. vide by 5 Mass Fat volume ‘Side by 3 isu volume gas volume ‘evide by 2 Ligue volume. fase matey by 3 ‘oyna ASTM tl rs eave: Te yO) 253754 MT 201 Stina INSTITUTE oLITEENICO NACIONAL DNSTITUTOPOLITECNICO NACIONAL) pra BLIcoeeAgHEnEE Nafuthe encodes asharzatMilly v2aet - 21°" TABLE 2 Mass-Volume Data for Liquetied Petroleum Gases and Low Boiling Hydrocarbons” Conn Coumne Commins gud volume in at oF aca nmsaay Compaen Molecular Rass Tink of teal gas at tencensere ‘mal 186°C 60°F) ana (eosen°F (vacuum) 101.325 ka (760 rm Ha Wenane™ eos 0.0022508 08 hone an080 08688 O3se08 thy (actyene)® 25.097 0.002585 zea Etylenc™ 2s0ss2 0.0082 03 Propane? ‘ones S.oseres os0r10 Prepene (reelere)® 420797 ‘0034021 ‘oszee0 ropasioe (ala) “0.068 10028438 ososee Prope (methylaceryene)® s0.068 S.onae068 oge7s3 nutane® sa.1222 0042057 ‘osee20 Math! propane (isobutane) siz 0013653 ose2es ‘Butane 56.108 nade: snot rane 2-Butene® 58.106 ose osta30 ce?
