Natural Gas Calorific Value Calculator
Use our online Natural Gas Calorific Value Calculator based on the ISO 6976 (2016) Natural gas – Calculation of calorific values, density, relative density and Wobbe index from composition
This calculator is designed to calculate the following for natural gas and other combustible gases :
- Gross Calorific Value
- Net Calorific Value
- Molar Mass
- Molar Volume
Definition of Gross Calorific Value
The Gross Calorific Value is called also: Higher Calorific Value HCV, Gross Calorific Value – GCV, Higher Heating Value HHV.
The Gross calorific Value is the amount of heat produced by a complete combustion of specified unit of quantity of fuel at constant pressure and all the products of the combustion are cooled down to the initial temperature before the reaction. all the combustion products remain in gaseous state but the water vapor produced during the combustion is condensed.
Definition of Net Calorific Value
The Net Calorific Value is called also: heating value LHV, Net Calorific Value NCV or lower calorific value LCV.
The Net calorific Value is the amount of heat produced by a complete combustion of specified unit of quantity of fuel at constant pressure and all the products of the combustion are cooled down to the initial temperature before the reaction. all the combustion products remain in gaseous state including the water vapor produced during the combustion is condensed.
If you want read more standardized definition of the two above terminology Net calorific Value and Gross Calorific Value you can check the iso standards 6976.
