General Notes:

Note: Refer to the "Terms and Conditions" in the 'About' section before using the software.

1) Volume Bottle Sizing is a software program that can be used to estimate the preliminary size of suction / discharge volume bottles for reciprocating compressors.

2) The sizing presented is approximate and preliminary. For final sizing, a pulsation study needs to be carried out.

3) The procedure is based on API Standard 618 - 2007 Ed / 2009 Errata.

4) If you notice any error, please let us know, so that can be rectified.
