Gases and vapors at 20°C and 1atm
*) NTP – Normal Temperature and Pressure – is defined as air at 20°C and 1 atm Specific gravity is the ratio between the density (mass per unit volume) of the actual gas and the density of air, specific gravity has no dimension. The density of air at NTP is 1.205 kg/m3.
