This calculator can be used for calculation of flow rate and
heat power in liquified petroleum gas (propane-butane) pipe lines.
Liquified petroleum gas is mixture of propane, butane and other
components. This calculator is applicable for calculation of flow rate
of gas and liquid phase and lpg heat power calculation (heat power is
generated in gas furnaces).
Calculator also can be used for calculation of clear propane or clear
butane gas flow.
Propane and butane in gas state are considered as compressible. When liquid
mixture of propane and butane is calculated, LPG is considered as incompressible.
All physical properties are calculated for the given propane - butane composition.
Calculator can be used for calculations of lpg pipe line diameter, when
flow rate is known. Flow rate of lpg can be given as mass flow rate, volumetric
flow rate of liquid phase, volumetric flow rate of gas phase at normal
conditions.
Also, if lpg is used as fuel in gas furnace, for known burner heat power,
needed volume of lp gas can be calculated.
LPG calculator can be used for conversions between mass and volumetric flow
rate (liquid and gas phase). Gas phase flow rate is calculated at normal
conditions: pressure (atmopheric) p = 101325 Pa and temperature T=273.15 K

note: calculator requires Java.
