Description

Petroleum fraction properties right on your iPhone

PetroFrac calculates properties of refinery petroleum fractions based on the D86 distillation and API gravity. You enter the 10%, 50% and 90% D86 distillation temperatures along with the API gravity.

The program calculates:

SG, Specific gravity
Watson K
MW, molecular weight

Once you enter the flow temperature the program calculates:

Density at flow temperature, g/cm3
Viscosity at flow temperature, cSt
Cp, Heat capacity at flow temperature, BTU/(lb Deg F)
H Liquid, Enthalpy of liquid at flow temperature, BTU/Deg F
H Vapor, Enthalpy of vapor at flow temperature, BTU/Deg F
Heat Vap, Heat of vaporization at flow temperature, BTU/Deg F

Any values that are extrapolated beyond the ranges of the correlations are displayed in purple text.

The calculations are based on:

“New correlation for predicting the viscosity of heavy petroleum fractions”
H. M. Moharam, R. A. Al-Mehaideb and M. A. Fahim
Fuel vol. 74, 1995.
I have extended the correlation range using ASTM Designation: D341 – 93 (Reapproved 1998).

straightforward and handy

I needed to do some pressure drop calculations to check if we could use a transfer line. This tool allowed my to calculate the naphtha viscosity and specific gravity. This was pretty handy, since I didn’t have to run Hysis to calculate the properties. It’s a pretty simple application, but it does exactly what I need.

Very Handy

This is exactly what I was looking for. It's great for meter calculations.
