-- The gas temperature and pressure for the values of MJ/m3 are 0 °C and 101.325 kPa.
-- The gas temperature and pressure for the values of Btu/ft3 are 60 °F and 14.696 psia.
-- LPG is marketed as propane or butanes or a mixture of propane and butanes. 
-- Natural gas, after removal of impurities and natural gas liquids (NGL), is essentially pure methane.
