Fixed Pressure Factor Calculator

AGA Report No. 3 · AGA-7 · API MPMS 14.3

Gas Volume Correction Calculator
Calculates the Fixed Pressure Factor (FPF) to correct measured gas volumes to base (standard) conditions per AGA Report No. 3 and AGA-7. The FPF accounts for pressure, temperature, and compressibility differences between flowing and base conditions—essential for accurate custody transfer metering and sales accounting.

About This Calculator

Calculates the Fixed Pressure Factor (FPF) to convert gas volumes measured at flowing conditions to standard base conditions per AGA Report No. 3 and AGA-7.

FPF Components:

  • Fpv (Pressure): Pf/Pb ratio correction
  • Ftf (Temperature): Tb/Tf absolute temp ratio
  • Fgr (Supercompressibility): Zb/Zf real gas correction

Common Base Conditions:

  • US Standard: 14.73 psia @ 60°F
  • Alt. Standard: 14.696 psia @ 60°F
  • Canada: 14.696 psia @ 15°C (59°F)
