We present two codes which estimates virial mass and LTE mass using IMFORT interface within IRAF (Image Reduction and Analysis Facility). It is discussed that threshold value (temperature or CO integrated intensity), which defines a reasonable cloud boundary and size, is the most important parameter determining accurate results. Several virial masses are to be obtained using the vir task, as well as three velocity dispersions including the centroid velocity dispersion, a turbulence indicator. LTE mass is to be estimated by using task lte as well as three by-product images. The $^{13}CO$ abundance and threshold temperature of $^{13}CO$ and $^{12}CO$ peak temperatures are the most critical parameters in LTE technique.
