Title: Determination And Application Of Supercompressibility Factors

Abstract: From the beginning of the Natural Gas Industry the behavior of Natural Gas has been assumed to follow Charles Law and Boyles Law. Charles Law is defined as: The volume of a body of gas varies directly as the absolute temperature when the pressure remains constant Boylers Law is defined as: The volume of a body of gas varies indirectly as the absolute pressure when the temperature remains constant. At ordinary temperatures and under moderate or small pressures all gases (escept Hydrogen, Helium, and Argon) are somewhat more compressible than the Law of Boyle would indicate. With gases that are hard to liquefy such as air, oxygen, or nitrogen, the changes in volume at ordinary temperatures and pressures exceed those calculated by Boyles Law by only a few tenths of one percent. With the more readily condensible gases, such as carbon dioxide, ammonia, or the hydrocarbons, the discrepancies may amount to several percent.
