Software for High Pressure Gas
(OP)
Can anyone recommend software to calculate pressure drops in seamless tubing carrying natural gas at around 4000 PSIG? I have tried numerous programs and they either fail or return contradictory results. Need help on this soon. Thanks.

As additional comment, I don't think thermophysical prediction software works well beyond the thermodynamic critical point so you may want to be careful there.

So I think having a means of providing the proper physical properties is the key to getting good results from your fluid flow calculations.
Found these links that might be of interest especially the one from PSIG where they compare the results of equations of state for methane that approaches 2000 psia. I realize that is still 2000 psi short of your pressure.
