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 fluid has the biggest specific gravity?
Oil has the highest specific gravity. Water has the second.
Why is crude oil called a mixture?
Mixture of naturally occurring hydrocarbons that is refined into diesel, gasoline, heating oil, jet fuel, kerosene, and literally thousands of other products called petrochemicals. Crude oils are named according to theircontents and origins, and classifiedaccording to their per unit weight(specific gravity). Heavier crudesyield more heat upon burning, but have lower API gravity and market price in comparison to light (or sweet) crudes. See also petroleum
Is crude oil a mixture?
It is a mixture of hydrocarbons, which can be separated by fractional distillation. Oil is NOT an element.
Crude oil is a toxic chemical that is?
Crude oil is inorganic.
Can crude oil be a liquid or a gas?
Crude Oil is a liquid.
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.
What is specific gravity of crude oil?
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.
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 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.
This country has crude oil reserves?
Nigeria has significant crude oil reserves, being one of the top oil-producing countries in Africa.
Which country is the leading exporter of crude oil?
Saudi Arabia
Exports of Saudi arabia?
Crude Oil, and petrochemical products.
What country has the largest crude oil deposits?
Saudi Arabia
What does SLCO mean?
SLCO is an acronym for Saudi Light Crude Oil.
