PetroFrac - iPhone

Picture
PetroFrac calculates properties of refinery petroleum fractions based on the D86 distillation and API gravity.   You enter the 10%, 50% and 90% D86 distillation temperatures along with the API gravity.

Petroleum Fraction Property Calculator

The program calculates:
SG, Specific gravity, Watson K, MW, molecular weight

Once you enter the flow temperature the program calculates:
  • Density at flow temperature, g/cm3
  • Viscosity at flow temperature
  • Cp, Heat capacity at flow temperature, BTU/(lb Deg F)
  • H Liquid, Enthalpy of liquid at flow temperature, BTU/Deg F
  • H Vapor, Enthalpy of vapor at flow temperature, BTU/Deg F
  • Heat Vap, Heat of vaporization at flow temperature, BTU/Deg F


Any values that are extrapolated beyond the ranges of the correlations are displayed in purple text.
Tapping on the “API” label toggles it to Specific Gravity.   You can then enter SG and PetroFrac will calculate the API Gravity.
