10.5.4 Hydrocarbon Analyses

The different types of hydrocarbon analysis can be seen in Figure 10.5.4-1 (at outline level). An instance of fluid analysis can contain any or all of the analyses shown.

Figure 10.5.6-1 shows the model for an example analysis (constant composition expansion) and also shows a concept common to many analysis kinds—the test step. This is a set of properties that repeat at different pressures or temperatures. To save space, the model diagrams for the remaining hydrocarbon analyses are not shown but can all be seen in the UML provided in the documentation.
