FOREWORD The project that resulted in the publication of the Technical Data Book was initiated as a result of a general recognition by the petroleum refining industry of the desirability of an authoritative publication setting forth a collection of correlations and methods for estimating physical properties that are used in process design. The technical work@ evaluation of correlations@ and preparation of the book were carried out by the project staff at the Department of Chemical Engineering of the Pennsylvania State University. The compilation has revealed the true state of the art of this information as applied to petroleum refining. The compilation not only shows how much we know but also reveals the degree and extent of our ignorance. Thus@ in addition to being an explicit tool for practicing engineers@ it is an implicit guide for research to perfect and extend methods for correlating and estimating physical properties. There is no guarantee@ express or implied@ that the data or methods herein are the best in existence. The only claim made for the compilation is that the data herein have been judged the best available to the project staff at the Pennsylvania State University at the time the various reviews were completed. Many articles published in the technical journals during the course of the project may have provided a basis for improving the precision or range of the data in this book. This is inherent in the nature of developing technology. The information and procedures given are based on experimental data and are believed to be correct within the limitations designated. Although extraordinary effort has been expended in eliminating errors@ no warranty@ express or implied@ is given by the investigators@ the Pennsylvania State University@ or the American Petroleum Institute in the use of this information. API publications may be used by anyone desiring to do so. Every effort has been made by the Institute to assure the accuracy and reliability of the data contained in them; however@ the Institute 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.
