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 |
