Calculate the density of SF₆ gas from the prevailing pressure and temperature. The ideal-gas density is shown alongside it for comparison — the gap between the two is the real-gas behaviour that matters when you are filling by weight.

Gas phase only — SF₆ condenses readily, and the result is withheld at or above the pressure where it liquefies. Typical switchgear fill is 38–44 g/L at 20 °C (5.9–6.7 bar absolute). The density comes from a virial fit of DILO's own calculation service, checked against the Beattie-Bridgeman equation of state for SF₆ (Allied Chemical TB-85603, p. 4); the two agree within 1% from −40 to +60 °C and 0 to 10 bar.

Moisture is decisive for SF₆ gas quality, and the pressure dependence of the dew point makes readings hard to compare. Convert dew point and frost point to the pressure-independent ppmᵥ and ppmᵤ values and back, or move a dew point from one pressure to another.

Work out the leakage rate and SF₆ mass flow of filled equipment from an integral tightness measurement — the accumulation method, using your measured concentrations, volumes and elapsed time.

Convert pressure, temperature and volume between the units used across SF₆ datasheets, service records and international standards.

These conversion functions have been developed with the greatest possible care. However, no liability is accepted for the correctness of the results.
