Standard Specification for Ethane Thermophysical Property Tables

Standard Details

1.1 The thermophysical property tables for ethane are for use in the calculation of the pressure-volume-temperature (PVT), thermodynamic, and transport properties of ethane for process design and operations. Tables are provided for gaseous and liquid ethane at temperatures between 92 and 600 K at pressures to 20 MPa. Two tables provide properties at the conditions of liquid-vapor equilibrium (saturation properties). A third table provides properties at selected T, p points for the equilibrium phase at those conditions. The tables were developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology from Standard Reference Database 23, REFPROP, version 10.0.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
