Gravedad API, densidad y corrección por temperatura

°API, specific gravity and density at 15 °C from a density observed at any temperature, with the volume correction factor that gets you there.

Datos de entrada

The temperature the gauge or hydrometer was read at.

Leave at zero if you only want the density figures.

Cómo se calcula

  • Thermal expansion coefficient α₆₀ = K₀/ρ₁₅² + K₁/ρ₁₅ + K₂, with the K constants taken from the commodity band you select (54A crude, 54B products, 54D lubricating oils).
  • VCF = exp[−α₆₀·ΔT·(1 + 0.8·α₆₀·ΔT)], with ΔT measured from the 15 °C basis.
  • α depends on ρ₁₅, which is what is being solved for, so ρ₁₅ is found by fixed-point iteration rather than one pass.
  • °API = 141.5/SG₆₀₆₀ − 131.5, with SG referenced to water at 60 °F (999.016 kg/m³).

Dónde deja de ser cierto

This is the D1250-80 closed-form VCF, not the full API MPMS 11.1 (2004) implementation procedure. The 2004 standard specifies rounding at defined points and an explicit hydrometer correction; a custody ticket computed here and one computed by a certified meter can differ in the fourth significant figure. Use it to check a number, not to issue one.
