    This standard test method covers determining the density, relative density, or API gravity of crude petroleum and petroleum products using a glass hydrometer. Initial hydrometer readings are corrected for various factors and to a reference temperature using calculation procedures and tables. Density measurements are important for custody transfer and quality control in the petroleum industry.

    ASTM D1298 - 12b(2017)

    Standard Test Method for Density, Relative


    Density, or API Gravity of Crude Petroleum and
    Liquid Petroleum Products by Hydrometer Method
    Significance and Use

    5.1 Accurate determination of the density, relative density (specific gravity), or API gravity of
    petroleum and its products is necessary for the conversion of measured volumes to volumes or
    masses, or both, at the standard reference temperatures of 15 °C or 60 °F during custody transfer.

    5.2 This procedure is most suitable for determining the density, relative density (specific
    gravity), or API gravity of low viscosity transparent liquids. This procedure can also be used for
    viscous liquids by allowing sufficient time for the hydrometer to reach temperature equilibrium,
    and for opaque liquids by employing a suitable meniscus correction. Additionally for both
    transparent and opaque fluids the readings shall be corrected for the thermal glass expansion
    effect and alternative calibration temperature effects before correcting to the reference
    temperature.

    5.3 When used in connection with bulk oil measurements, volume correction errors are
    minimized by observing the hydrometer reading at a temperature close to that of the bulk oil
    temperature.

    5.4 Density, relative density, or API gravity is a factor governing the quality and pricing of crude
    petroleum. However, this property of petroleum is an uncertain indication of its quality unless
    correlated with other properties.

    5.5 Density is an important quality indicator for automotive, aviation and marine fuels, where it
    affects storage, handling and combustion.

    1. Scope

    1.1 This test method covers the laboratory determination using a glass hydrometer in conjunction
    with a series of calculations, of the density, relative density, or API gravity of crude petroleum,
    petroleum products, or mixtures of petroleum and nonpetroleum products normally handled as
    liquids, and having a Reid vapor pressure of 101.325 kPa (14.696 psi) or less. Values are
    determined at existing temperatures and corrected to 15 °C or 60 °F by means of a series of
    calculations and international standard tables.

    1.2 The initial hydrometer readings obtained are uncorrected hydrometer readings and not
    density measurements. Readings are measured on a hydrometer at either the reference
    temperature or at another convenient temperature, and readings are corrected for the meniscus
    effect, the thermal glass expansion effect, alternative calibration temperature effects and to the
    reference temperature by means of the Petroleum Measurement Tables; values obtained at other
    than the reference temperature being hydrometer readings and not density measurements.

    1.3 Readings determined as density, relative density, or API gravity can be converted to
    equivalent values in the other units or alternative reference temperatures by means of
    Interconversion Procedures (API MPMS Chapter 11.5), or Adjunct to D1250 Guide for
    Petroleum Measurement Tables (API MPMS Chapter 11.1), or both, or tables, as applicable.

    1.4 The initial hydrometer readings determined in the laboratory shall be recorded before
    performing any calculations. The calculations required in Section 10 shall be applied to the
    initial hydrometer reading with observations and results reported as required by Section 11 prior
    to use in a subsequent calculation procedure (ticket calculation, meter factor calculation, or base
    prover volume determination).

    1.5 Annex A1 contains a procedure for verifying or certifying the equipment for this test method.

    1.6 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard.

    1.6.1 Exception—The values given in parentheses are provided for information only.

    1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with
    its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and
    health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

    1.8 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized
    principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of
    International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization
    Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
