The density of diesel fuel decreases as temperature increases because the fuel expands and becomes less dense. This is due to the thermal expansion properties of the fuel molecules. As a result, diesel fuel may have different densities at different temperatures, which can affect its performance in engines.
The density of diesel fuel oil (20 to 60) at 15 degress Celsius is 820 to 950 kg/m3. In other words, it has from 82 to 95 percent the density of water, or specific gravity (relative to water) of 0.82 to 0.95.
Kerosene is lighter than diesel. Diesel has a higher density and is thus heavier than kerosene.
The result will vary, depending on the type of diesel and its temperature. Diesel fuel oil 20 to 60 at 15ºC has a density of 0.820 to 0.950 kg/L I believe a good average value is Diesel oil 40 at 15ºC with a density of 0.850 kg/L 1 metric ton = 1000 kg 1000 kg / 0.850 kg/L = 1176.47 liters SJ
Yes
I do not know what "on rd" diesel is but do know diesel fuel (petroleum distillate)The density of petroleum diesel is about 0.85 kg/l (7.09 lb/US gal)"on rd" diesel is diesel fuel used on the highway (rd=road) which is taxed by the Federal Government at the pump, as opposed to "off rd" diesel which is used on farms for tractors and other farm implements and is tax exempt.
0.832 kg.. Obviously it will change minutely with a variation in cetance number and altitude.
Diesel is often called a distillate because it is obtained through a process called fractional distillation during petroleum refining. This process separates crude oil into various components based on their boiling points, with diesel fuel typically being distilled at a temperature range of 200-350 degrees Celsius.
The current Euro-V diesel product specification used by much of the world requires diesel to be between 0.820 kg/l and 0.845 kg/l at 15.6°C. This variation has to do with the amount of kerosene (jet-fuel) blended into diesel. In the winter more kerosene will be blended into diesel to ensure no cold properties (such as cold filter plug point (CFPP) and/or cloud point) are exceeded. In the summer less kerosene is blended into diesel because kerosene almost always sells for a higher price than diesel.
0.84 @20 deg C, but can vary with temperature.
diesel
The density of diesel is typically measured using a hydrometer or a densitometer. These instruments determine the density of the diesel fuel by measuring the buoyancy or the refractive index of the liquid. Density can also be calculated by dividing the mass of a given volume of diesel by that volume.
what temperature does diesel freeze at in Celsius
Yes, the weight of diesel fuel can be affected by temperature. As diesel is exposed to different temperatures, its volume can expand or contract, leading to a change in weight. Generally, diesel fuel will weigh less at higher temperatures and more at lower temperatures due to the difference in density.
The formula to calculate diesel quantity in liters using density and weight is: Volume (liters) = Weight (kg) / Density (kg/l). First, determine the weight of the diesel in kilograms. Then, divide the weight by the density of the diesel in kilograms per liter to find the volume in liters. This formula is essential for accurately measuring and managing diesel fuel quantities in various applications.
The density of petroleum diesel is about 0.85 kg/l whereas petrol (gasoline) has a density of about 0.72 kg/l, about 15% less
100 DENSITY thats it..
