- Patel's Density Conversion App for Petroleum products from observed temperature to 29.5 Deg C

A good quantity of petroleum products is handled in bbls and small containers. The product quantity is required to be accounted in these containers at 29.5 deg C.  So the exercise demand to convert volume from observed temperature to volume at 29.5 deg C. The practical situation require for example if the density observed is say 832.5 Kg/Cu. M at 24 C, what is the converted density at 29.5 C? Usual practice is first convert density to 15 C and then work out density conversion to 29.5 C using ASTM tables 53B. This require a special skill and there is always probability of error in conversion.  The answer is provided in a single step, in the app developed here. Similar Apps on Petroleum Calculations developed by RJ Patel- see here. Earlier,  various Density conversion Apps and procedures are blogged for petroleum products and crude Oil.  Here now, an app is presented for density conversion from observed temperature to the required temperature of 29.5 C. The conversion uses r
