C198 – ASTM-IP Table 6:1952 – Volume Reduction to 60°F

Description

This calculates the API gravity at an alternate temperature via a temperature correction factor from API gravity at 60°F and the alternate temperature.

Options

Calculation Method

  • From algorithm
  • From Table

This option is used to select whether the Ctl is calculated from an algorithm using the formulae as outlined below or interpolated from the printed values in Petroleum Measurement Table 6.

Precision

  • Full
  • Rounding

If rounding is selected the output is rounded to 4 decimal places as per the table otherwise values are displayed to full precision.

Calculation

Temperature Correction

The temperature correction is calculated by :

Where
ΔT = Difference in temperature compared to base temperature in °F
API60 = API gravity at 60°F
a1 = Constant from Table III
a2 = Constant from Table III
b1 = Constant from Table III
b2 = Constant from Table III
