Remarks

A Simple Properties Package (SPP) is a complete, consistent, reusable, ready-to-use collection of methods, chemical components and model parameters for calculating any of a set of known properties for the phases of a multiphase system. It includes all the pure component methods and data, together with the relevant mixing rules and interaction parameters. A package normally covers only a small subset of the chemical components and methods accessible through a Properties System. It is thus established by selecting methods etc from within a larger system, possibly adding to or replacing these methods by third party components.

These additional methods will normally be CAPE-OPEN compliant methods which may have been specially written, or may come from another properties system. (They can only come from another system where that system provides them as CAPE-OPEN compliant components). A Properties Package may be a Simple Properties Package, or at a vendors discretion, made up from Option Sets (see definition of Option Set).
