Definition
If you set this indicator, the supercompressibility factor SCF of the gas is used instead of the gas law deviation factor K.
Both values are related via the equation K = 1 / SCF². The supercompressibility factor SCF is used, for example, in the United States, and the gas law deviation factor K is used in Germany.
Note the following:
If the supercompressibility indicator is set, the assumption is made that all factor values for compressibility related to the volume correction factor procedure are based on the supercompressibility factor.
This may affect the following values in particalar:
- Values for the set gas law deviation factor and the actual gas law deviation factor for the register
- Values in the table Gas Law Deviation Factor per Press. and Temp.
- The return value of the user exit for determining the gas law deviation factor
Restrictions and recommendations:
You should use either the supercompressibility factor SCF or the gas law deviation factor K company-wide, meaning you should choose either SCF or K in all volume correction factor procedures.
This is related to the fact that at least the Gas Law Deviation Factor per Press. and Temp. table is structured for only one of these uses.
For the other procedures for determining the gas law deviation factor (per device or via user exit), a different use per procedure would be theoretically possible, but would be confusing and cause errors.
