Gas Density Calculation (Estimation)

Quick estimation of gas density

Density = P/(RT)   (kg/m3)
P= Pressure (Pa)
R= Individual gas constant (J/kg.K) = Ru/MW
T= absolute temperature (K)
Ru= Universal gas constant (8314.472 J/kmol.K)
MW= Gas Molecular weight

Example:
Air molecular weight = 29 kg/kmol
Pressure = 1 bara = 100,000 Pa
