GasCalc Module en

GasCalc is a software module that calculates various gas properties. It includes 12 calculation modules that determine properties such as calorific value, Wobbe index, density, combustion parameters, CO2 emission factors, methane numbers, thermal properties, phase behavior, transport properties, compression characteristics, requirements for gas heaters, and flow properties for orifice meters. The modules help with applications like energy billing, combustion processes, emissions trading, gas quality monitoring, pipeline design, liquefied natural gas processes, and compressor optimization.
