This standard specifies the calculation method for the compressibility factor of natural gas, natural gas containing artificial admixtures and other similar mixtures only in the state of oxygen. The calculation method is to use the known high-level calorific value, relative density and CO2 content and the corresponding pressure and temperature to calculate the compressibility factor of the gas. If H2 is present, its content also needs to be known, as is often the case in gases containing artificial admixtures. Note 1: The compressibility factor can be calculated when any three variables in high calorific value, relative density, CO2 content, and N2 content are known. But N2 input variable. The calculation method of one of the variables is not recommended. Generally, the first three variables are used as input variables for calculation. This calculation method is also called SGERG-88 calculation method, which is mainly applied to pipeline gas transmission within the range of pressure p and temperature T where gas transmission and distribution are normally carried out, and the uncertainty is about ±0.1%. It can also be used in a wider range, but the uncertainty of the calculation results will increase (see Appendix E). See GB/T 17747.1 for a more detailed description of the application range and application fields of this calculation method.
