Best Answer

relative density compared to water, water density = 1000 kg/m^3 , sg = 1

say density of oil = 850 kg/m^3 , then sg = 850/1000 = 0.85

say density of steel = 7850kg/m^3 then sg = 7850/1000 = 7.85

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.


What oils heat up the fastest?

The oils have very similar compositions as regards specific heats and rates of heat transfer. It would be difficult to measure a difference outside the lab.


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

light crude oil has less specific gravity,less viscosity while heavy crude oil has more specific gravity & viscosity.


What is the weight specific gravity of oil?

The specific gravity depends on the particular oil, some are lighter, some heavier. Olive oil has an SG of about 0.7, crude oil (used for gasoline etc.) about 0.9.
