Abstract
When measuring cargoes of liquefied natural gas (LNG), knowledge is required of its composition, volume, temperature, and density. It was decided in 1968 to look into the problem of determining LNG density characteristics. Rather than developing a direct-reading densimeter, work was directed toward determining density as a function of composition and temperature. The experimental results obtained with pure substances and mixtures were also used in establishing a correlation law.
