Abstract

Presents data on the subject of volumetric changes resulting from blending volatile hydrocarbons (propane, butane, produced distillates, and natural gasolines) with crude oils. Coverage includes: curves for predicting average volume shrinkage; example of use of curves for predicting shrinkage; effect of temperature and pressure on volumetric shrinkage; calculation of tables and curves for predicting shrinkage; shrinkage measurement utilising visual volumetric apparatus.
