Just to clear my doubts
I have some data
For HC liquid
Liq vol flow @ std condition is 8000 bpd
Actual volume flow is 9000 bpd
For vapor
Std gas flow is 180000 STD-m3/hr
Actual volume flow 12000 m3/hr
Why actual volume flow of hc liquid is more than at std conditions
And why std gas flow is more than actual volume flow?
Also help fo explain difference in std gas flow and std liquid flow.
Thank you

STD volumetric gas flow is at a specified (not actual) temperature and pressure, which is equivalent to saying what the actual mass flow rate is. Actual volumetric flow is the volumetric flow rate at the actual temperature and pressure of the flowing gas. There are a number of different industry standards for "standard conditions", so it is important to know what these are.
