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.


Which property is used to classify crude oils as either heavy or light?

viscosity. very viscose oils are considered "heavy", oils of low viscosity are considered "light". Oils with little sulfur are considered "sweet", oils with lots of sulfur are considered "sour". The most valuable crude oil is "light sweet".


Why do you treat lower API gravity crude to meet product specification?

Lower API crude requires treatment in high temperature and longer retention time to meet proper oil production specification Note - lower API (light crude) is free flowing while higher API (heavy crude) does not flow easily.


What does A P I mean in crude oil assay report?

API (American Petroleum Institute number) or API gravity American Petroleum Institude gravity number) is a measure of the density of the crude oil. Take for example XX crude has an API gravity of 34 while YY crude has an API gravity of 22. This would mean that XX crude is lighter as compared to YY crude. If you were to then look at the assay data for the XX crude, you will see that it will contain more lighter components (Natural gas, naphtha, etc) when it is processed in the distillation column as compared to the YY crude. YY crude on the other hand will contain more heavier components such as (diesel or heavy oils,etc) as compared to the XX crude. Depending on what products is on demand, the crudes might be sold at different prices. If the demand for gasoline is high, then XX crude will be more valuable for it has higher amounts of lighter components and vice versa.

What is the value of 1KG heavy crude oil in liters?

The value of 1 kg of heavy crude will be between 1.0 to 1.0714 liters. Definitions of heavy oil vary. Generally, a range of 10 degrees to 20 degrees API is one qualifier, and the viscosity of the oil is a second qualifier. Specific gravity (SG) = 141.5/(131.5 + API) where API = degrees API density. So, 20 degrees equals SG of 0.9333. This is equal to 0.9333 kg/ liter, so 1 liter = 1/0.933 = 1.0714 kg. For 10 degrees API, SG = 1. See related links for discussion of heavy oil and tars.


What is the relation between API gravity and specific gravity?

API gravity is inversally proportional to the specific gravity. so if the value of spcific gravity for some material is higher , it means that the API gravity of the same material will be lower.


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).


Api gravity to pounds per gallon?

Well, darling, API gravity is a measure of how heavy or light a petroleum liquid is compared to water. To convert API gravity to pounds per gallon, you'll need to use a specific formula that takes into account the density of water and some other fancy factors. So, grab your calculator and get ready to crunch some numbers if you want to make that conversion happen.


What are crude densities?

What is crude densities? Crude densities are measured in api gravity. Api gravity is found by placing a hydrometer in a cylinder of crude at 60 degrees Fahrenheit and reading the depth the hydrometer has sunk into the crude.


What is the difference between heavy crude oil and light crude oil?

Heavy crude oil has a higher density and viscosity compared to light crude oil. Heavy crude oil also contains more impurities like sulfur and metals, which makes it more difficult and expensive to refine. Light crude oil is easier to extract, transport, and refine, making it more valuable in the market.


What are some of the properties of Brent Crude oil?

Brent Crude oil is a light, sweet crude oil extracted from the North Sea. It is known for its low sulfur content, which makes it easier to refine into gasoline and diesel fuel. Brent Crude is a benchmark for pricing other crude oils worldwide.
