This technical report presents a method to compute the density, compressibility factor, and supercompressibility factor for thermally cracked gas (TCG) for custody transfer using orifice meters. It provides equations, parameters, computation flow diagrams, and example spreadsheet calculations. This technical report applies to TCG mixtures after treatment. See Table 2 for more information on the types of gases covered. It applies for temperature from 90 °F to 120 °F (305 K to 322 K) at pressures up to 300 psig (2 MPa). It is limited to a specific operating region. The method is for the single gas phase only.

.3 Units and Conversions
The units used in the basic formulation of the equations and in the associated computer subroutines are SI units. The subroutines use the following units for the absolute temperature in kelvins (K), pressure in megapascals (MPa), and molar density in moles per cubic decimeter (mol/dm 3 ). The value of the gas constant is 0.008314472 KJ/mol-K. Conversion factors are required for conversions to and from other units. Consistent conversion factors for use with the TCG method are given in Table 1. When possible, the conversion factors given in Table 1 correspond to international standards (GPA 2172-2009 and ISO 6976). Any differences in values used in this program and later values are within the experimental uncertainty in the validation data. Hence any unit conversion changes are unlikely to affect the uncertainty of the calculations. It is recommended that any subsequent changes be ignored unless the agency promoting the change provides a detailed cost impact of the change on industry.API TR 2575 pdf download.API TR 2575:2014 pdf free download
