FOREWORD The Table of Physical Properties for Hydrocarbons and Other Components of Interest to the Natural Gas Industry, GPA Publication Standard 2145, provides the gas processing industry with a convenient compilation of authoritative numerical values for the paraffin hydrocarbons and other compounds occurring in natural gas and natural gas liquids as well as for a few other compounds of interest to the industry. The physical properties selected are those considered most valuable for engineering and analytical computations in gas processing plants and laboratories. Most properties are based upon two NIST Standard Reference Databases: the Web Thermo Tables, WTT, (NIST SRSD-3) and the Reference Fluid Thermodynamic and Transport Properties Database, REFPROP, (NIST SRD-23). The data in this publication were checked, evaluated, and recalculated when necessary by Robert Chirico and Eric Lemmon of the Physical and Chemical Properties Division of the Chemical Science and Technology Laboratory at NIST in Boulder, Colorado. The listed flammability limits and octane numbers were not evaluated at NIST and sources for these properties are provided in the references. Some of the listed values result from other values in the tables by simple calculation. Numbers obtained from such related data may differ from the tabulated values in the last digit because of numerical round off, but the differences are within the standard uncertainty of the data. The value of the gas constant used in the tables is 8.314472 J/(Kmol). Numerous values were updated from the previous edition of GPA-2145 to provide full thermodynamic consistency between properties. This was accomplished through consistent use of properties derived with the equations of state underlying the NIST REFPROP database. Properties derived with these equations of state are inherently consistent. This publication represents the first time for which thermodynamic consistency is assured for all properties listed in GPA2145. Required enthalpies of combustion at 298.15 K were taken from the NIST Web Thermo Tables (WTT). These enthalpies of combustion are reprinted in the notes of this document. All adjustments of these values to the selected temperatures of GPA-2145 were completed using consistent thermophysical property values from the NIST REFPROP program. The values of the physical properties for the components in GPA 2145, as well as those for many more compounds, appear in the GPSA Engineering Data Book. Property values for compounds listed here in GPA 2145-09 supersede those listed in the GPSA Engineering Data Book. For components not listed in GPA 2145, the property values in GPA TP-17 may be used. DISCLAIMER GPA publications necessarily address problems of a general nature and may be used by anyone desiring to do so. Every effort has been made by GPA to assure accuracy and reliability of the information contained in its publications. With respect to particular circumstances, local, state, and federal laws and regulations should be reviewed. It is not the intent of GPA to assume the duties of employers, manufacturers, or suppliers to warn and properly train employees or others exposed, concerning health and safety risks or precautions. GPA makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee in connection with this publication and hereby expressly disclaims any liability or responsibility for loss or damage resulting from its use or for the violation of any federal, state, or municipal regulation with which this publication may conflict, or for any infringement of letters of patent regarding apparatus, equipment, or method so covered.

NOTES FOR GPA STANDARD 2145-08 (SI) a The Molar Mass of Air is fixed by GPA to be 28.9625 in order to harmonize with ISO 697695, 'Natural gas -- Calculation of calorific value, density, relative density and Wobbe index from composition' and AGA 5-07, 'Fuel Gas Energy Metering'. Individual components in Air may change over time based on empirical data but the Molar Mass of Air, calculated from the table shown below, will remain constant within this document for the purposes of, but not limited to, the calculation of Gas Relative Density. The information in the table below should not be used for individual component calculations. For information on individual components refer to the appropriate Component Data Table. AGA 5-07 TABLE 7.17.1 follows.

b Shaded values were estimated by GPA for the hypothetical liquid state, and were not reevaluated in this revision of GPA-2145. c The referenced temperature is above the critical temperature. d The property is that of the liquid component at saturation pressure rather than at 101.325 Densities of liquid at the normal boiling temperature e k f Gas constant R = 8.314472 J mol-1 K-1 g Algebraically derived from the absolute density of the liquid h Gas at T = 288.15 K and liquid at the normal boiling point i The basis for gross heating value is dry gas at T = 288.15 K and p = 101.325 kPa based upon the ideal reaction. See GPA 2172 for conversion to other bases. Conversion of enthalpies of combustion at T = 298.15 K from reference 3 were converted to the conditions specified here with the property values from reference 2. Heating values for H2S are based on SO2(g) and H2O as products. j Enthalpy of vaporization to the ideal-gas state k Values are based on an oxygen mole fraction of 0.20946 for air. l The + sign and number specify the number of cm3 of TEL (tetraethyl lead) added per gallon to achieve the ASTM octane number of 100, corresponding to that of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane. m Average value from octane numbers using more than one sample n Enthalpy of sublimation o For components not listed in GPA-2145, the property values listed in TP-17 may be used.

The critically evaluated enthalpies of combustion from WTT are all for T = 298.15 K with liquid water as a product, in accord with how the values are determined experimentally. Enthalpies of combustion for the hydrocarbon gases are based upon the following general reaction: Hydrocarbon(gas) + oxygen(gas) = carbon dioxide(gas) + water(liquid) Values (in J/g of hydrocarbon) used to derive the quantities listed in GPA-2145 are: methane (-55517), ethane (-51903), propane (-50325), i-butane (-49347), n-butane (-49505), ethylene (-50303), and propylene (-48907). Enthalpies of combustion for the hydrocarbon liquids are based upon the following general reaction: Hydrocarbon(liquid) + oxygen(gas) = carbon dioxide(gas) + water(liquid) Values (in J/g of hydrocarbon) used to derive the quantities listed in GPA-2145 are: i-pentane (-48560), n-pentane (-48635), n-hexane (-48310), n-heptane (-48071), n-octane (-47888), n-nonane (-47753), and n-decane (-47640). The enthalpy of combustion for hydrogen sulfide is based upon the following reaction: Hydrogen sulfide(gas) + 1.5 oxygen(gas) = sulfur dioxide(gas) + water(liquid) The value (in J/g of hydrogen sulfide) is -16490.5. 4 Engineering Sciences Data Unit, "Fire Hazard Properties: Flash Points, Flammability Limits and Autoignition Temperatures," ESDU 82030, September 1983.
