- Patel's Density Conversion for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)  from observed temperature to 15 C without use of  ASTM Table.  (Density unit Kg/m3).   A separate post for the density unit Kg/L is given here.  An exact conversion in Android /iOS App is given at the end of this article. Following simple method help in easily converting LPG density to 15 deg C, without using ASTM Tables, and without help of calculators. It is very handy for field persons who are taking density for comparing parent density for Quality Control purpose.  LPG is transported in pipeline or marine tankers in cryogenic conditions and usually sample temperature is around 02 -15 deg C. Two different alternate simplified ways are prescribed here. User may find their own alternative. Option 1.     For LPG.  (Density range 5Xx  to 590  Sample Temperature range ----------. ) Simplified   Formula                           D 15  = d o  - ( 15  –  t o )  Where

Secondly, as per request from one of the users, LPG density units used here is Kg/L.   ( 1000 Kg/L = 1 Kg/m3).  Two different alternate simplified ways are prescribed here. User may find their own alternative. Option 1.    For LPG.  (Density range 0.5Xx  to 0.59.  Sample Temperature range ----------. )
