METHODS

Calculation of natural gas properties in accordance with ISO-6976

long int CalculateIso6976(); calculates natural gas properties and returns long int error status

ERROR STATUS

Error status bits are cleared or set upon the completion of long int CalculateIso6976() function as shown below

Bit 0 =1 (0001H)

The total sum of mole fractions is <0.98 or >1.02.

Bit 1 =1 (0002H)

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 2 =1 (0004H)

The mole fraction of Methane is <0.5 or >1.0.

Bit 3 =1 (0008H)

The mole fraction of Nitrogen is <0 or > 0.3.

Bit 4 =1 (0010H)

The mole fraction of Carbon Dioxide is <0 or >0.15.

Bit 5 =1 (0020H)

The mole fraction of Ethane is <0 or >0.15.

Bit 6 =1 (0040H)

The mole fraction of any other mixture component {X(2),...,X(50),X(52),X(54),...,X(57)} is <0 or >0.05

Bit 7,...

Bit 7 and all higher bits are unused.
