Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Pressure-temperature-volume, supplied compressibility. Returns Corrected gas amount. All coefficients and observations are user supplied; results describe only the stated mathematical model. Quantities are deterministic calculations from supplied observations and assumptions; no external data is fetched. Supported limits: Finite inputs only; numeric fields bounded as labelled. Lists and JSON records are limited to 256 entries unless a stricter tool bound is stated. No automatic design approval, legal conclusion, treatment recommendation or safety certification. Absolute pressure (Pa): minimum 1e-12, maximum 1000000000000.0. Gas volume (m³): minimum 1e-12, maximum 1000000000000.0. Absolute temperature (K): minimum 1e-12, maximum 1000000000000.0. Supplied compressibility Z: minimum 1e-12, maximum 10.
