* - value for normal conditions
** - value for contractual conditions
The values in the table refer to the contractual conditions, i.e.:
-pressure equal to atmospheric pressure – 0.101325 MPa
-temperature - 293,15 K (20ºC)
-for combustion process 293,15

Gas volume conversion factor from 20ºC to normal conditions at 0ºC is 0.93168

The factor for the conversion of contracted capacity expressed in m3 GOST/h (at 20ºC) to capacity expressed in kWh/h is 10.322 kWh/m3 GOST.
