LCV from ISO 8217 Analysis
Calculate lower calorific value from measured density, water, sulphur and ash using the ISO 8217 / ASTM D4868 estimation formula. The IMO DCS fallback when a direct LCV test isn't on the BDN.

Formula, assumptions, and limits
Empirical ASTM D4868 estimator, adopted by ISO 8217 Annex G as the fallback LCV when a bomb-calorimeter test is unavailable. H = hydrogen content is approximated as 26 – 15 ρ/1000 for marine residuals.
