Although physical properties of natural gas are readily available in the literature, the determination of such properties using a hand-held calculator can be of great convenience to the engineer. Two typical examples of gas properties often required in gas transmission and reservoir engineering calculations are compressibility factor (z factor) and viscosity (..mu..). In this article, programs developed for determining these properties are described.
