Can we calculate our crude oil and products weights via Table 13M (Chile)?

Yes.
In Chile, a modified ASTM D1250-80 Table 13, called Table 13M, is in use within the oil industry.

At a base temperature of 60°F, for a given API gravity at 60 °F (density in vacuo) – in the range 0 to 85 °API, the table provides the density in air in kg/L (kg/dm³) for weight calculations. This table 13M is part of the QuantityWare BCP delivery:

With note 000115, a GCD (Generic Customer Development) is made available to fulfill the requirement, such that for crude oil and products, the API gravity is entered (ASTM D1250-80) and the corresponfing density in air is determined via table 13M . Table 13M defines the absolute density in kg/L (kg/dm³) at 60 °F for API gravity (in vacuo) between 0 and 85 °API.
This GCD delivers a PDF document, which contains all configuration steps for two MQCI conversion groups, that utilize Table 13M for weight calculations.
