LNG Properties

(OP)
Where can I find the properties of LNG such as viscosity, density and vapour pressure?

RE: LNG Properties

LNG-
  Wewll, as you know it's about 90-100% Methane, so it's density is 26.5 LBs/Ft3... and weight about 3.5 lbs/gallon.  the Boiling temp is -259F and molecular weight is 16.04  Energy content is about 83,000BTU/gal and LFL=5% and HFL=15%.  The Viscosity can vary, but burning(flame) velocity is about .98 ft/sec.

Hope this helps... I imagine there are alot of sites out there you could try SPE (Society of Petroleum Engineers) though.

I found that the Chempak database from AFT does the calculation for LNG and 700 other chemicals. It provides fifteen parameters.

Thanks for the responses.
