Physical Properties
This section contains a number of charts, correlations, and
calculation procedures to be used for predicting physical properties of hydrocarbons and components found with them.
Fig. 23-1 shows the nomenclature used in this section.
Fig. 23-2 is a table containing frequently used physical properties for a number of hydrocarbons and other selected com-
