STPD vs BTPS
STPD
Standard temperature, pressure, and dry
i.e.
- Standard temperature (0C or 273K),
- Pressure (760mmHg)
- Dry
BTPS
Body temperature, pressure, and saturated
i.e.
- Body temperature (37C)
- Pressure (760mmHg)
- Saturated
* i.e. with water vapour=47mmHg at 37C
Conversion
To convert a gas volume from BTPS to STPD, multiply by
--> 273/310 x 713/760 = 0.8261842
Thus,
- 1 mole of perfect gas at STPD = 22.4L
- 1 mole of gas at BTPS = 27.11L
NB:
- 27.11L (BTPS) x 0.826
~ 22.4L (STPD)
