Gas Specific Gravity and Molecular Weight Conversion (free):
S = M / Mair , where S=gas specific gravity, M=gas molecular weight, Mair=28.96443 g/mole (molecular weight of standard air - CRC, 1983).
Ideal Gas Equation (CRC, 1983). (Calculation requires registration):
Ru = 8.3144126 N-m/mole-K
The ideal gas law calculation internally converts all user inputs to SI units, performs the calculation, then converts calculated values to user-desired units. All molecular weights are from CRC (1983). The molecular weight of air is computed from the volume fractions of the individual components in air given by CRC (1983):
Fractional Volumes of Components in Sea Level Dry Air (CRC, 1983)
| Component: | N2 | O2 | Ar | CO2 | Ne | He | Kr | Xe | CH4 | H2 |
| Volume Fraction | 0.78084 | 0.209476 | 9.34e-3 | 3.14e-4 | 1.818e-5 | 5.24e-6 | 1.14e-6 | 8.7e-8 | 2e-6 | 5e-7 |
Error Messages given by Ideal Gas calculation
"Inputs must be positive". This is an initial check of user
input. The only negative values that may be input are temperature expressed in oC
or oF.
"T must be > -273.15 oF". This message will appear if
temperature is entered in oC. -273.15 oC corresponds to
absolute zero.
"T must be > -459.67 oR". This message will appear if
temperature is entered in oF. -459.67 oF corresponds to
absolute zero.
