API to Density Calculator

Calculate Density from API

Formula

To calculate the density from API:

\[ D = \frac{141.5}{\text{API} + 131.5} \times 998.9 \]

What is Density from API?

Density from API is a measure used in the petroleum industry to determine the density of crude oil or other petroleum products based on their API gravity. API gravity is a measure of how heavy or light a petroleum liquid is compared to water. The formula converts API gravity to density in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ D = \frac{141.5}{35 + 131.5} \times 998.9 \approx 848.92 \text{ kg/m³} \]

The Density is approximately 848.92 kg/m³.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ D = \frac{141.5}{40 + 131.5} \times 998.9 \approx 824.17 \text{ kg/m³} \]

The Density is approximately 824.17 kg/m³.
