Depends on how much you have!

Weight = density x volume.

Now, 21 degree API oil can be converted into specific gravity by the equation:

141.5/(131.5 + api grav) = 141.5/152.5 = 0.9279 gm/cc (water approx 1 gm/cc)

This is equal to (0.9279) (62.4 pounds/cu ft) = 57.9 pounds per cubic foot.

Since 7.48 gal = 1 cubic foot, the density = 57.9/7.48 = 7.7 pounds per gallon.

These are approximate numbers as specific gravity is considered the density of water at 14.7 psi pressure and 60 degrees F.

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.

How much does 1 liter of crude oil weigh?

The weight of crude oil can vary depending on its density and temperature, but on average, 1 liter of crude oil weighs approximately 0.85 to 0.87 kilograms.


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.


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).


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 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.
