What is the specific gravity of natural gas?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for the specific gravity of natural gas, which is a property that compares the density of natural gas to that of air or another reference substance.
Answer
0.55 to 0.87
The specific gravity of natural gas ranges from about 0.55 to about 0.87
Answer for screen readers
The specific gravity of natural gas ranges from about 0.55 to about 0.87
More Information
Specific gravity is a key property of natural gas that helps to determine its composition and energy content. Higher specific gravity indicates richer gases.
Tips
Common mistakes include misunderstanding the range of values due to natural gas composition variability.
