Pipe Flow Gasref App: Gas Properties Calculator
Calculate Gas Properties
The functionality of the Pipe Flow Gasref App is already built in to the Pipe Flow Mobile Apps for gases such as "Pipe Flow Gas Pressure Drop", and "Pipe Flow Gas Pipe Diameter". The "Gas Data Calculator" within these Apps is essentially the full GasRef App, however we also offer Pipe Glow GasRef as a standalone App.The Pipe Flow Gasref App for iOS (iPhone and iPad) is a software application that helps engineers calculate the Density, Viscosity, Z Compressibility Factor, and Specific Heat Ratio for a number of common compressible gases at different temperature and pressure conditions.

Pipe Flow Gasref App Results Data
Tapping CALCULATE GAS DATA displays the following gas property data for the selected gas at the specified temperature and pressure condition.Density (From the Ideal Gas Law)
For a specific temperature and pressure condition the compressed density of a gas can be calculated using the Ideal Gas Law
At a higher presure condition the gas density will increase; the same mass (weight) of gas will be compressed in to a smaller volume. At a higher temperature condition the same mass (weight) of gas will expand to an increased volume and hence this will result in a lower gas density.
Calculating the Density using the Ideal Gas Law gives a good approximate result for most gases, provided that the gas does not significantly deviate from the ideal gas law line at high pressure conditions.
Compressibility Factor Z
The Pipe Flow Gasref software can calculate and display the compressibility factor of certain gases at different temperature and pressure conditions.
The compressibility factor corrects for the differences between the real gas density at a high pressure condition and those predicted by the Ideal Gas Law.
Real Density
In addition to the calculating the density from the ideal gas law, the Pipe Flow Gasref App will also calculate and show the real density of the gas at the specified condition, taking account of the Z Compressibility Factor.
Viscosity
Viscosity is the fluid's resistance to flow, which is caused by a shearing stress within a flowing fluid and between a flowing fluid and its container.
A fluid viscosity can be described by its Dynamic viscosity (sometimes called Absolute viscosity), or it's Kinematic viscosity. These two expressions of viscosity are not the same, but are linked via the fluid density.
Kinematic viscosity = Dynamic viscosity / fluid density
Centipoise (cP) is commonly used to describe dynamic viscosity.
Viscosity is only weakly dependent on pressure and varies mainly with changes with temperature.
Specific Heat Ratio
The Specific Heat Ratio (also known as the adiabatic index or the heat capacity ratio) is the ratio of the heat capacity at constant pressure to heat capacity at constant volume.
