Appendix C: Gas Correction Factors for Commonly
Used Pure Gases
Table 17 lists the gas correction factors for some commonly used pure gases. If the GCF for
your gas is not listed, or you are using a gas mixture, you must calculate the GCF. Refer to Gas
Correction Factor (GCF), page 49, for more information.
