Description

LIQPROP is a software program for calculating the specific gravity, viscosity, bulk modulus and compressibility factors of petroleum products at various temperatures and pressures.

The program also converts specific gravity to API gravity and vice versa, viscosity from centipoises, SSU and SSF to centistokes. It calculates the specific gravity and viscosity of blended petroleum products and the compressibility factor at a specified temperature and API gravity.

Here is a sampling of LIQPROP’s features:

• Create a database of liquid properties. Gravities, viscosities and temperatures can be input in a spreadsheet and saved for later use. As new product information becomes available, the database can be updated. LIQPROP uses this database to calculate the blended properties of a mixture of different liquids. In the individual data entry screens, default data pulled from the database can be overridden by entering new data.
• Calculates specific gravity or API gravity, given one or the other.
• Calculates or converts from one set of viscosity units into another, such as SSU, SSF, centipoises or centistokes.
• Given two values of specific gravities at two different temperatures, the specific gravity at a third temperature can be calculated.
• Given two values of viscosities at two different temperatures, the viscosity at a third temperature can be calculated.
• For a mixture of up to ten different products, the specific gravity of the blended composition can be calculated for given percentage of each product.
• For a mixture of up to ten different products, the viscosity of the blended composition can be calculated for given percentage of each product.
• The Isothermal and Adiabatic Bulk Modulus of petroleum products can be calculated for given API gravity, pressure and temperature.
• The compressibility factor using the API method, can be calculated for petroleum products, for specified values of API gravity and temperature.
