Please remember that normally the density or API is provided by the terminal or surveyor in the load ports and what is used will be dependent on the region / port of loading. For example in USA / Canada, Persian Gulf, API usage is prevalent, while entire of Europe and Asia uses Density at 15°C. However please ascertain, if Density at 15°C is provided, whether it is in air or in vacuum. This is very important when finding out from Table 54, since the density provided there is in Air and hence same must be used. (Density at 15°C in Air = Density at 15°C in Vacuum – 0.0011.

  1. i am looking for a soft copy of ASTM tables 5a, 5B, 6A, 6B, 53A, 53B, 54A, 54B. do you know where I can find them ?
    thank you

  2. Yes, I’m very aware of constant density temp. @ 15 deg. C from US barrel@ 60F to density 15deg. C@ Cubic Meter or kiloliters. What brought me concerned only, is the different between True and Apparent density, therefore with your explanation, everything is clear. Thank you.
