These methods are often more time-consuming than entering the values into a VCF calculator; however, due to the variance in methodology and computation of constants, the tables published by the American Petroleum Institute are preferred when dealing with the purchase and sale of crude oil and residual fuels.
Oil conversion factor from m³ to bbl (or stb) is 6.28981100; Gas conversion factor from standard m³ to scf is 35.314666721; Note that the m³ gas conversion factor takes into account a difference in the standard temperature base for measurement of gas volumes in metric and imperial units.
ASTM International, formerly known as American Society for Testing and Materials, is a standards organization that develops and publishes voluntary consensus technical international standards for a wide range of materials, products, systems and services. Some 12,575 apply globally.
ASTM D20-03(2014) Standard Test Method for Distillation of Road Tars D1160 Test Method for Distillation of Petroleum Products at Reduced Pressure ASTM Distillation is a subset of the standards set by the standards organization ASTM International , a voluntary standards development organizations that sets technical standards for materials ...
ASTM method D4007 [2] or API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards chapter 10.4 [3] are commonly used to measure BS&W. These methods both consist of mixing equal volumes of solvent and crude oil then centrifuging in order to separate any solids, free water, or suspended particles.
The aniline point (ASTM D611 [13]) is of considerable value in the characterization of petroleum products. The aniline point measure of the ability of the base oil to act as a solvent and is determined from the temperature at which equal volumes of aniline and the base stock are soluble High aniline points (approximately 100°C or greater ...
Schematic and dimensions of a compact tension specimen. A compact tension specimen ( CT ) is a type of standard notched specimen in accordance with ASTM [ 1 ] and ISO [ 2 ] standards. Compact tension specimens are used extensively in the area of fracture mechanics and corrosion testing, in order to establish fracture toughness and fatigue crack ...
A crude oil assay is the chemical evaluation of crude oil feedstocks by petroleum testing laboratories. Each crude oil type has unique molecular and chemical characteristics. No two crude oil types are identical and there are crucial differences in crude oil quality.
