In March 2023, API MPMS Chapter 9.1 ”Density Determination, Section 1-Standard Test Method for Density, Relative Density, or API Gravity of Crude Petroleum and Liquid Petroleum Products by Hydrometer Method” – ASTM D1298 has been editorially enhanced and issued as ASTM D1298-12b(2017)e1. QuantityWare has reviewed this new version and confirms compliance with BCS 3.0 implementations for hydrometer correction calculations.

ISO 6578 “Refrigerated hydrocarbon liquids — Static measurement — Calculation procedure” is currently available as ISO 6578:2017 (second edition) and is expected to be replaced by ISO/DIS 6578 within the coming months. QuantityWare has purchased ISO/DIS 6578 and analyzed the planned new version.

Crude oil calculations are among the most complex calculations with respect to the involved quantities (GOV, GSV, NOV, NSV,…).

Thus, QuantityWare presents a new tutorial video, which describes – in a clear and easy-to-understand manner – the calculations required for these conversions, and how QuantityWare’s Bulk Calculations – Petroleum (BCP) provides powerful tooling to perform them, with advanced flexibility for configuration.

You can view our tutorial video on our new “What is covered” page.
