Abstract: The experimental basis for the IGT method of calculating the compressibility factor, heating value and specific gravity of fuel gas mixtures is reviewed. The method has been adopted by ASTM Committee D-3 for calculation of specific gravity and is in the process of being adopted by NGPA for both heating value and specific gravity. A study group of the International Gas Union has compared several methods and recommends the IGT method for adoption as the standard. A method for calculating heating value and specific gravity, with a revised table of component constants, is being prepared for submission to ASTM D-3. Simpler methods of calculation developed by Bruce J. Caldwell appear accurate for natural gas but do not retain such high accuracy over as wide a range of fuel gas composition.
