Specific gravity of crude oil is how light or heavy it is compared to water. If the API gravity is less than 10 it will float in water.

What is the difference between heavy crude oil and light crude oil?
light crude oil has less specific gravity,less viscosity while heavy crude oil has more specific gravity & viscosity.
Does the gravity of crude oil affect the weight of the oil?
You probably mean the "specific gravity" of crude oil. The answer is yes. For example: crude oil with a specific gravity of less than 1.0 and is therefore lighter than water and will float on its surface. "Extra heavy crude oil" has a specific gravity greater than 1.0 and sinks to the bottom of water.
What is the Specific Gravity of Saudi Crude Oil?
Crude oil densities vary from Saudi Arabian fields, so a single specific gravity is not possible. However, for purposes of benchmarking crude, the Dubai crude is 31 degrees API (0.871).
What are some of the properties of Brent Crude oil?
Brent Crude is a light oil and is classified as a sweet crude. It contains 0.37% sulfur, has an API gravity of 38.06, and a specific gravity of .835.
How you can convert Density of Crude oil into specific Gravity?
The same way you convert any density to specific gravity. Just divide the density of the substance (crude oil in this case) by the density of the reference substance (usually water, for liquids).
What is the weight specific gravity of oil?
The specific gravity depends on the particular oil, some are lighter, some heavier. Olive oil has an SG of about 0.7, crude oil (used for gasoline etc.) about 0.9.
What is the lightest oil?
No. Liquid ether at 72.72 kg/m3 is much lighter than crude oil at 790 (or so) kg/m3.
Why would oil companies want to see gravity images?
Changes in gravity are one indicator of the presence of crude oil
What is the melting point for crude oil?
the Melting point depends on different types of Crude oil.. Crude oils are of different types ..so there is no specific Boiling point
What is the specific heat of crude oil?
Heat exchanger for petroleum
What fluid has the biggest specific gravity?
Oil has the highest specific gravity. Water has the second.
How many Barrels per metric ton of crude oil?
As the question is how many barrels per metric ton of 'crude oil', you can use the calculator on the U.S. Energy Information Administrations site:http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/kids/ then select 'energy calculators'Using the crude oil calculator shows 1 metric ton = 7.33 bbl crude oil. Crude oils vary depending on their specific gravity so this is an average for crude oil in the U.S.Depends on density, however 7.33 bbl per tonne is a reasonable estimate.1metric ton(1000kgs)=7.3 barrels. 1barrel=42 US gallons.
