Can we combine an LPG vapor space model with any product, not just classic LPG products?

Yes.
The QuantityWare BCS template contains many examples for GPA 8217 and ISO 6578 in combination with one of the three available LPG vapor space models. Any of these three models can be combined with any other meaningful CTL standard.
This makes sense for products with a vapor pressure above standard atmospheric pressure at reference conditions, e.g. national measurement standards for LPG or bulk chemical products.

In order to utilize an LPG vapor space model for other CTL standards, MQCI function
/QTYW/MQCI_SET_CTPL_TANK_VAPOR
must be included into the configuration of your conversion group, right before the LPG vapor space model function.

Note: With BCS 30A CSP 03 / BCS 30B CSP02 a new template conversion group Q729 is delivered as part of the template, which combines German DIN 51757 LPG CTL calculations with vapor space calculations:

If you require help with such configurations, ask your QuantityWare certified consultant for assistance.
