DENSITY OF VAPOUR AT OBS'D TEMP = 288 x (1.013 + Py)_x MOLECULAR WEIGHT (Pv = Vapour Press. - Guage)
Get x 1013 x 23645 (Tv= Vapour Tema. Deg CiLaws of Physics for gas
‘When the weight of any gass equal to its molecular weight, its volume is equal to 22.414 firs
Provided that its temperature is 273 degs kelvin (0 degs C) and its pressure is 1 Atmosphere
Boyle's Law states that if temperature of gas is kept constant, its Volume is inversely propotionel to its Pressure
1e.P;V, =P2V; or Constant
Charles law states that if pressure of gas is kept constant Volume of gas is directly propotional to its temperature
he. VslTy BV 2/12 OF VM 2 = T/T
Now since Volume in 1 atmospeher at 273 degs K (or 0 degs C)is equal to 22.414 irs
Therefore Volume in 1 atmosphere at 273 + 15 degs K (or 15 degs C) is equal to
Var ViKTaIT, = 22.414 x(273 + 15)/273 = 23.645 ts
Pressure law states that f Volume of gas is kept constant , Pressure of gas s directly propotional to its temperature
1e.P,/T, =P,/T; = Constant
The above three laws may be combined into
P.ViIT, = PVT, = Constant
‘where Py= 1 atmosphere, Vi = Volume in ts a 15 dogs C and T; = 18 dege C in kevin
where P: = Observed pressure in atmospheres, = Volume in ts at observed temperature and T; = observed temperature in kelvin
Therefore Vz = Py x Vy x Tol (Ty x P3)
V2 = atmosphere x Volume in irs at 18 dags C x Observed Temp. in K/ (Temp. in K at 15 degs C x Observed pressure in atmospheres)
‘r using Universal Ideal Gas Constant PV/T = (Mim) xR
\heteP is absolte pressure in pascals Nim’, Vf incubic metres, Ti n degrees Kelvin, Mis mass of gas in Kgs, mis the molecular weight
and Ris the Universal Gas Constant = 8.314 Kikg mol K
Using above formula V2 = P1 x V1xT2/(T1 x P2) we get volume of gas of a mass of molecular weight
Now Mass / Volume = Density
‘Therefore Vapour Density at Obs. Temp. = Molecular weight / Volume
\Vap. Density at Observed Temp = MoLWt. x T J Sh
1 atmosphere x Volume ints at 15 degs C x Observed temperature in K
Since Pressure readings obtained in bars or kg/cm? all pressures to be converted to bars of kg/em? depending
con the unit of the pressure gauge, 1 atmosphere = 1.013 bars = 1.033 kg/m?
Therefore Vapour density at Observed Temp = MolWt.x (273+ 15) x (1.013 + Vapour Press
1,013 x 23.645 x (273 + Observed temperature in C)
‘Shore Terminals supply Liquid density information at 15 degs C or 60 degs F in vacuum. To convert this to
density in air for LPG liquids, use thumb rule
Density in air= density in vacuum - 0.0011
fr find and apply the factor for converting Weight in Vacuum to Weight in Air from ASTM Table 56
Thermal correction factor tor iquid and for vapour can be found from Tank Tables. Density correction, Tape
‘correction, Trim correction and List correction also can be found in Tank Tables. VRF or VCF to 15 degs C
‘can be found in ASTM Table 4,
From Cargo Calculation Sheet it can be seen that Liquid Volume at 20 deg C is multiplied by Thermal correction
factor to obtain Liquid Volume at Obs. Temp. andis then muliplied by VRF or VCF fo 15 dags C to obtain Liquid
Volume at 15 degs Candis then multiplied by Density in Air to obtain Weight of Liquid in Air.
Hence if we muitily Thermal correction factor for iquid by VRF or VCF to 15 degs C and then by Density to Air
we can get a factor to convert Liquid Volume at 20 degs C to Weight of Liquid in Air or Vice varsa by muliplying
this factor by Liquid Volume at 20 degs C or dividing Weight of Liquid in Air by this factor respectively.
we have to load 2 gases in 1 tank (mixture)
We can get the approx. weight and densities of both gases for the message from shore
With the above info we can calculate the approx. Volumes of the 2 gases
Vi = Wy, ; V2 = WalD2 (Note: shore supplies these densities usualy at 15 deg Cia vacuum hence approx volumes area 1S degs C)
Therefore approx. Wuyx = Ws + W2 & APPFOX. Vauxiia tts deg¢ = Vs + Vo
Therefore Approx. Density x ssegc = WMIK / apprOX. VMIX cca 18Tre 2pPrOX density L1G mix x angc We Can ook up Tom the ax table and get approx density LIQ mix
