Description: "The primary objective of this investigation was to obtain experimental phase relationship data at pressures from 100 to 500 p.s.i.a. and at temperatures ranging from -100 to -275℗ʻ Fahrenheit, for a natural gas similar in composition to those systems likely to be processed in the proposed Helium Conservation Program...A secondary objective of this study was the determination of the effect of removing heavy hydrocarbons, in a preliminary trap, upon the phase behavior of the gas at 275 and 150 p.s.i.a. and at temperatures similar to those employed in the Bureau's present helium separation process"--Page 2.
