Summary of Test Method4.1 The sample is brought t

31、o a specified temperature and atest portion is transferred to a hydrometer cylinder that hasbeen brought to approximately the same temperature. Theappropriate hydrometer and thermometer, also at a similartemperature, are lowered into the test portion and allowed tosettle. After temperature equilibri

The observed hydrometer reading is correctedfor the meniscus effect, the thermal glass expansion effect,alternative calibration temperature effects and then reduced tothe reference temperature by means

37、 This procedure is most suitable for determining thedensity, relative density (specific gravity), or API gravity oflow viscosity transparent liquids. This procedure can also beused for viscous liquids by allowing sufficient time for thehydrometer to reach temperature equilibrium, and for opaqueliqui

38、ds by employing a suitable meniscus correction. Addition-ally for both transparent and opaque fluids the readings shall becorrected for the thermal glass expansion effect and alternativecalibration temperature effects before correcting to the refer-ence temperature.5.3 When used in connection with b

39、ulk oil measurements,volume correction errors are minimized by observing thehydrometer reading at a temperature close to that of the bulk oiltemperature.5.4 Density, relative density, or API gravity is a factorgoverning the quality and pricing of crude petroleum.However, this property of petroleum i

40、s an uncertain indicationof its quality unless correlated with other properties.5.5 Density is an important quality indicator for automotive,aviation and marine fuels, where it affects storage, handlingand combustion.6.
