Early work on hydrates of gaseous substancescarried on during the periodof theoretical studies of the fluid sub-stances by Villard (18, 13, 14), de Forcrand (4), and others was reviewed by Schroeder (11). Hammerschmidt (5, 6, 7) called the attention of the natural gas industry to the early work on hydrates and reported on the problems of hydrate formation in natural gas transmission systems. Deaton and Frost (1, 8, 3) studied the pipe line problems and reported laboratory data on the conditions at which hydrates will form for several gases. Recent papers (8, 7) are concerned more with remedial measures for preventing hydrate formation than with the phase relations of natural gases, water, and hy-drates. The usual method of preventing hydrate formation is the dehydration of the gas. This paper reports experimental determinations of equilibrium temperatures and pressures of hydrate formation up to 4000 pounds per square inch for three natural gases. The equilibrium between a propane-rich fluid, a water-rich fluid, and crystalline hydrate was measured. A discussion of the phase relations and vapor-solid equilibria is included.
