Methane Liquid Gaseous Units

Overview

Engineering reference data for Methane Liquid Gaseous Units in gases and compressed air.

Key Formulas

Ideal Gas Law

$PV = nRT$

Pressure × Volume = moles × gas constant × temperature.

Boyle's Law

$P_1 V_1 = P_2 V_2$

At constant temperature.

Charles's Law

$\frac{V_1}{T_1} = \frac{V_2}{T_2}$

At constant pressure.

Variables

Symbol	Description	Unit
$P$	Pressure	Pa
$V$	Volume	m³
$T$	Temperature	K
$R$	Gas constant	8.314 J/(mol·K)

Methane Unit Conversion Table

The following table provides conversion factors between common units for measuring methane and natural gas in both liquid and gaseous states.

Measurement Conditions:

• ft³ measured at 60°F and 14.696 lbf/in²
• m³ measured at 0°C and 760 mmHg

Example Usage: To convert a volume of liquid methane to an equivalent volume of gas at standard conditions, multiply the liquid volume by the factor in the "m³ gas" row and "From m³ liquid" column.

For example, converting 10 m³ of methane liquid to gas: $q_{\text{gas}} = 593 \times (10 \text{ m}^3_{\text{liquid}}) = 5930 \text{ m}^3_{\text{gas}}$
