fxAPI_MPMS_11_2_1
The API MPMS 11.2.1 standard consists of a printed table that contains compressibility factors to
correct hydrocarbon volumes under pressure to the corresponding volumes at the equilibrium pressure
for the metered temperature.
The table contains compressibility factors related to meter temperature and API gravity at 60°F.
From the compressibility factor the volume correction for pressure is calculated according to API MPMS
12.2.
Compliance
API MPMS 11.2.1 - Compressibility Factors for Hydrocarbons: 0 - 90°API Gravity Range - First
Edition, August 1984
API MPMS 12.2 - Calculation of Liquid Petroleum Quantities Measured by Turbine or
Displacement Meters
Boundaries
API MPMS 11.2.1 defines the following limits on the input values:
0 to 90 °API
-20 to +200 °F
0 to 1500 psig.
API Rounding
The actual standard is the printed table. It also includes the 'Calculation Procedure' to obtain the table
values based on the rounding and truncating of all input, intermediate and output values.
The function provides the option to either output the table value (including the full API rounding and
truncating requirements) or to perform the calculation procedure without any rounding and truncating
being applied.
