Thanks AgLNG for that
information. i understand the
method of calculating the heat in
leak rate from the boil off rate from
the heat of vaporization of pure
methane. you have said that this
value is around 220 Btu/lb.

will it it fair to say that the heat of

vaporization for pure methane
under standard conditions (i.e. 60F
and 1 atm) can be used for this
calculation.

Again thank you everybody for

their inputs. looking forward to
hearing from you guys
