Crude Oil Density Conversion to 15 deg C and Volume Calculation App as per Petroleum tables ASTM 53A and 54A
Crude Oil Density conversion to 15 C from observed temperature as per ASTM 53A and volume Correction as per Petroleum tables ASTM 54A using an App developed.
The App developed converts a) Density at 15 Deg C from observed density and temperature and b) calculates the bulk volume from natural to volume at 15 deg C, US barrels at 60 deg F and weight in MT.
Large volume of crude moves from production to user refineries globally. Oil Industry uses ASTM tables published by API/IP/ASTM to account Oil quantity on board of the tankers for calculating quantity. Following publication is in IS system where mass is in Kg, volume is in Kg/Cu.M and temperature is in Centigrade and followed most of Europe, Asia, Africa & Commonwealth countries with standard temperature as 15 deg C.
It may be noted that the above tables ASTM 53 A and 54 A are for Crude oil and not for refined petroleum products for which there are different ASTM tables for Corrections. See different Apps suiting this.
US, Canada, Persian Gulf, etc where FPS system with API density, US Barrels, and Deg F is more prevalent and and there are different ASTM tables are used. Standard temperature being 60 deg F. See different Apps suiting this.
Certain countries use 20 deg C as standard temperature. These are Russia, Russian influenced most of Eastern block CIS countries Brazil etc. See different Apps suiting this.

The App Description:
Density Conversion from the natural observed density to Density @15 deg C as per ASTM 53A.
Scrolling down - Volume Correction as per ASTM 54A and calculation part of the App appears.
Density Conversion from observed temperature to 15 deg C using the APP has following fixtures/benefits:
a) Accurate as per the ASTM Density Conversion table 53A and VCF as per ASTM 54A.
b) Can be used in Mobile Phone or Laptop/Desktop.
The app is compatible with the iOS and android systems.
c) After initial downloading, the app functions without internet for calculation.
The app is compatible with the iOS and android systems.
c) After initial downloading, the app functions without internet for calculation.
d) Avoids manual human error in reading ASTM Book table/Conversion formula disk.
e) Far Simpler than using the charts & formula wheel to work out conversions.
f) Very very convenient to use in the field say at Marin Jetty, on the board of Vessels, receiving/dispatching tank trucks, marine tanker loading/unloading, pipeline samples density conversions, etc where ASTM Conversion charts are cumbersome to be carried/use and likely human error may occur, leading to costly consequences.
The App has following additional fixtures:
The App is in English Language, can be made in any other languages. Units of measurement can be programmed as decided by user.
