Working Withapi Gravity at 60 of

The document outlines procedures for calculating density, API gravity, and relative density when measuring cargo volumes and weights. It describes steps for obtaining corrected ullage and interface readings, calculating total and cargo volumes, applying temperature corrections to determine standard volumes, and using density or gravity values to calculate weights in air and vacuum. Correction factors are obtained from provided tables based on measured temperature. Volumes are converted to weights using appropriate density values.

PROCEDURE OF CALCULATIONS

Working with Density at 15 C in air:

1) Observed Ullage-apply corrections -get Corrected Ullage


2) Observed Interface -apply corrections -get Corrected Interface
3) From Corrected Ullage, find Total Observed Volume TOV
(in cubic metres)
4) From Corrected Interface, find Volume of Water 
(in cubic metres)
5) TOV -Water = Gross Observed Volume (GOV) of Cargo(in cubic metres)
6) Use Density at 15C and Observed Temperature (oC) and find Volume Correction Factor
(VCF) from Table 547) Gross Standard Volume (GSV) = GOV x VCF
(cubic metres)
8) Weight Correction Factor (WCF) = Density at 15C in vacuum -0.0011 (or the Density at 15C
in air)
9) Weight in Air (Metric Ton)= GSV x WCF(Density at 15C in air)
10) Weight in Vaccum (Metric Ton)= GSV x Density at 15C in vacuum

Working withAPI Gravity at 60 oF :


1) Observed Ullage -apply corrections -get Corrected Ullage
2) Observed Interface -apply corrections -get Corrected Interface
3) From Corrected Ullage, find Gross Observed Volume(in US Barrels)
4) From Corrected Interface, find Volume of Water (in US Barrels)
5) GOV -Water = Observed Volume of Cargo(in US Barrels)
6) Use API Gravity at60Fand Observed Temperature (oF)and find Volume Correction Factor (VCF) from
Table 6
7) Gross Standard Volume (GSV) = Observed Cargo Volume(Barrels)x VCF(in US Barrels)
8) Find Weight Correction Factor (WCF) fromTable 13
9) Weight in Air (Metric Tons)= GSV x WCF

Working with Relative Density at 60/60F :


1) Observed Ullage-apply corrections -get Corrected Ullage
2) Observed Interface -apply corrections -get Corrected Interface
3) From Corrected Ullage, find Gross Observed Volume(in cubic metres)
4) From Corrected Interface, find Volume of Water (in cubic metres)
5) GOV -Water = Observed Volume of Cargo(in cubic metres)
6) Use Relative Density at 60/60Fand Observed Temperature (oF) and find Volume Correction Factor (VCF) from
Table 24
7) Gross Standard Volume (GSV) = Observed Cargo Volum(m3)x VCF(in m3)
