Molecular weight, specic gravity, individual gas constant, and specic heat values were abstracted from, or based on, data in Table 24 of Marks Standard Handbook
for Mechanical Engineers (seventh edition).
Weight density values were obtained by multiplying density of air by specic gravity of gas. For values at 60F, multiply by 1.0154.
Natural gas values are representative only. Exact characteristics require knowledge of specic constituents.

The weight density of gases other

than air can be determined from
this table by multiplying the density listed for air by the specic
gravity of the gas relative to air,
as listed in the tables in Table
E7.3.

The table at the left is calculated

for the perfect gas law. Correction for super-compressibility, the
deviation from the perfect gas
law, would be less than 3 percent
and has not been applied.
