HOUSTON, TEXAS — PAC, a global leader in advanced analytical instruments for laboratories and online process applications, is pleased to announce the release of its latest software solution, RGA/NGA XLNC for the IRIS platform. This now integrated solution replaces the former GasXLNC stand-alone software, providing an upgraded, comprehensive tool for gas chromatograph (GC) analysis and reporting within refinery and natural gas applications.

RGA/NGA XLNC offers a powerful combination of automated data management and precision calculation features, all accessible through a user-friendly interface within the IRIS platform. The software is compatible with a range of chromatographic data systems, including OpenLab CDS and OpenLab Chemstation, making it versatile for laboratories with diverse setups.

Like its predecessor, RGA/NGA XLNC complies to industry standards including ISO, ASTM, GPA, and more for detection, understanding composition, and calculating calorific values. RGA/NGA XLNC supports user-defined calculations allowing for additional functionality. One new feature allows users to perform these calculations at different metering conditions which greatly adds to the ability of tailoring the system to the user’s needs. Additionally, designed for easy calibration and traceability, the software allows users to import calibration certificates for compliance and validation, ensuring accurate, reproducible results.

Another new feature of RGA/NGA XLNC for IRIS is the new ISO 6974/6976 Defined Uncertainty Option for NGA. This add-on module provides uncertainty calculations, chain-of-custody tracking, and multi-level sample repeat capabilities. This option is particularly valuable for users who require detailed adherence to these ISO specifications, offering a robust solution for advanced natural gas analysis and documentation.

With automated data import, click-and-drag functionality, and extensive customization options, RGA/NGA XLNC enables laboratories to optimize workflows, reduce analysis time, and maintain high accuracy across a wide range of analysis conditions. Designed for compatibility with Windows 10 and 11, the software is a reliable, high-performing solution for both refinery gas and natural gas analyzers, setting a new standard in data accuracy, flexibility, and regulatory compliance.

“With the launch of RGA/NGA XLNC, we’re providing our customers with an advanced, streamlined solution for gas analysis in the oil and gas industry,” said Pete Morris, president of PAC. “This software represents our commitment to innovation, offering unmatched accuracy, flexibility, and ease of use—all within a single platform. We’re excited to see how RGA/NGA XLNC empowers our customers to achieve even higher standards in efficiency and precision across their operations.”
