METHODS

Calculation of natural gas properties in accordance with  ISO-20765-1 and ISO12213-2

long int CalculateIso20765x1(); calculates the properties and returns long int error status

ERROR STATUS

Error status bits are cleared or set upon the completion of long int CalculateIso20765x1() method as follows

Bit 0 =1 (000001H)

There exist at least one mole fraction < 0

Bit 1 =1 (000002H)

The total sum of mole fractions <0.98 or >1.02

Bit 2 =1 (000004H)

The total sum of mole fractions is not exactly equal to 1. This bit denotes only the warning that the fractions have been normalized to give the total sum of mole fractions equal to 1. If only bit 2 was set during the calculation the results are valid.

Bit 3 =1 (000008H)

The mole fraction of Methane <0.7 or >1.0

Bit 4 =1 (000010H)

The mole fraction of Nitrogen >0.2

Bit 5 =1 (000020H)

The mole fraction of Carbon Dioxide >0.2

Bit 6 =1 (000040H)

The mole fraction of Ethane >0.1

Bit 7 =1 (000080H)

The mole fraction of Propane >0.035

Bit 8 =1 (000100H)

The mole fraction of Water >0.00015

Bit 9 =1 (000200H)

The mole fraction of Hydrogen sulfide > 0.0002

Bit 10 =1 (000400H)

The mole fraction of Hydrogen >0.10

Bit 11 =1 (000800H)

The mole fraction of Carbon monoxide > 0.03

Bit 12 =1 (001000H)

The mole fraction of Oxygen >0.0002

Bit 13=1 (002000H)

The mole fraction of Butanes (n-Butane + i-Butane) >0.015

Bit 14 =1 (004000H)

The mole fraction of Pentanes (n-pentane + i-Pentane) >0.005

Bit 15 =1 (008000H)

The mole fraction of Hexanes (n-Hexane) >0.001

Bit 16 =1 (010000H)

The mole fraction of Heptanes (n-Heptane) >0.0005

Bit 17 =1 (020000H)

The mole fraction of octanes plus higher hydrocarbons (n-Octane + n-Nonane + n-Decane) >0.0005

Bit 18 =1 (040000H)

The mole fraction of Helium >0.005

Bit 19 =1 (080000H)

Bit 21 =1 (200000H)

The temperature temperature <250 K or >350 K.

Bit 22 =1 (400000H)

The relative density <0.55 or >0.90.

Bit 23 =1 (800000H)

The superior calorific value <20 MJ/m^3 or >48 MJ/m^3.

Bit 24,...

All higher bits are unused.
