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 lightest oil?
No. Liquid ether at 72.72 kg/m3 is much lighter than crude oil at 790 (or so) kg/m3.
Size of barrel of oil?
The weight of a barrel of oil will depend on its density. A barrel contains 42 gallons and density is typically measured in units of API gravity. Units can be a bit confusing in this case. We need to convert from API density to pounds per gallon. Crude oil can typically vary from 15 to 45 deg API although I have worked with oils as low as 8 and as high as 50. Let us consider oil gravity of 30 deg API, as all other densities are calculated in the same way. Specific Gravity = 141.5/(131.5 + 30) = 0.876 The specific gravity is the density of the oil relative to water. Now, to convert this to pounds per gallon, we must multiply the answer by 8.34 (density of water is 8.33 pounds per gallon): 8.34 x 0.876 = 7.30 pounds/gallon. Since there are 42 gallons in a barrel, we must multiply this answer by 42: 42 x 7.30 = 307 pounds. To summarize, a) convert API to specific density b) convert specific density to pounds per gallon and c) multiply gallons in one barrel by the pounds per gallon.
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 is 141.5 and 131.5 in api gravity formula?
That is the reason i'm here, I also want to know, may you please give me the answer
What is Correlation between o API and specific gravity?
°API = [ 141.5 / (SG @ 60°F) ] - 131.5 SG= specific gravity (always taken at 60°F when calculating API)
What is specific gravity at 34 degrees API?
.3
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 does API stand for in relation to lubricants?
American Petroleum Institute (API)
Which are light liquids?
By using API gravity value of a liquid we can check that how a liquid is lighter or haavior one.First we should know about API gravity.The American Petroleum Institute gravity, or API gravity, is a measure of how heavy or light a liquid is compared to water. If its API gravity is greater than 10, it is lighter and floats on water; if less than 10, it is heavier and sinks. API gravity is thus an inverse measure of the relative density of a petroleum liquid and the density of water, but it is used to compare the relative densities of petroleum liquids. For example, if one petroleum liquid floats on another and is therefore less dense, it has a greater API gravity. Although mathematically, API gravity has no units (see the formula below), it is nevertheless referred to as being in "degrees". API gravity is graduated in degrees on a hydrometer instrument. The API scale was designed so that most values would fall between 10 and 70 API gravity degrees.M.Hassan Haq NawazB.sc. Chemical Engg,University Of Gujrat,Pakistan

Api gravity to pounds per gallon?
The Formula for convert API gravity to pounds per gallon is: Pounds per Gallon = (141.5/(API Gavity+131.5))*8.3378 <--[which is weight of fresh water] API of 10 is same as weight of water. API >10 will float
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.
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).
What is American Petroleum Institute scale on hydrometers?
The American Petroleum Institute (API) scale on hydrometers is an arbitrary scale based on Relative Density (Specific Gravity) where - API = (141.5 divided by the Relative Density at 60oF) - 131.5
