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.
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.
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).
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).
The weight specific gravity of oil can vary depending on the type of oil. However, commonly used oils like crude oil have a specific gravity ranging from 0.7 to 0.95. This means that oil is generally lighter than water, which has a specific gravity of 1.
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.
45 gallons of crude oil weighs about 315 pounds.
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.
Changes in gravity are one indicator of the presence of crude oil
The dielectric constant of crude oil varies depending on the specific composition of the oil. However, in general, the dielectric constant of crude oil ranges from around 2.0 to 3.5.
Crude oil can ignite and burn at temperatures above 150°C (300°F). The exact temperature can vary depending on the specific composition of the 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.
The specific heat of crude oil varies depending on its composition, but it is typically around 2.0 - 2.5 J/g°C.
