What state does the unit m3 for liquefied natural gas refer to in general?
Thread Content
What state of volume does the unit m3, commonly used in China to denote natural gas reserves, refer to? What about m3 in liquefied natural gas? Why is the unit MT/a sometimes used internationally? How is m3 converted to tons? Could that expert explain it? This post was last edited by psw1420 on 2009-2-17 22:28]
After cryogenic liquefaction, natural gas occupies about one six hundredth of its original volume, with the exact value varying depending on the composition of the natural gas. The density of liquefied natural gas with a typical composition is approximately 431.6–468.7 kg/m3, and the volume of one cubic meter of liquefied natural gas after vaporization is about 568–590 standard cubic meters.
