Description
The function calculates the density of Ethylene (C2H4, also called Ethene) based on the NIST-1045
Equation Of State in metric units.

of Standards (NBS), US, Technical Note 1045, 1981.
Boundaries
The equation of state is valid from 104 K to 400 K (-170 .. +127 °C) and for pressures up to 40 MPa (400
bar).

The calculations are performed with full
precision. A convergence limit of 1e-10 kg/m3
will be applied for the iterative calculations.
1: Enabled
The calculations are performed in full
compliance with the standard. The input,
intermediate and output values are rounded
as specified and also the iteration limit as
specified in the standard is used to achieve
convergence.
