W values of tissue-equivalent gases based on propane and butane were measured for protons in the energy range 1–100 keV and compared with those of dimethylether and water vapour. The experimental values of the tissue-equivalent gas mixtures were compared with data calculated from the W values of the mixture components using five existing additivity models and two new models derived within the scope of the present work. Apart from one model—the simplest one—all models show a good agreement with the experimental data.
