(1) Used only with API Table Letter = C.
b. Set API Table Letter to the letter of the API table group that is appropriate for your
process fluid.
API Table Letter Process fluids
A Generalized crude and JP4
B Generalized products: Gasoline, jet fuel, aviation fuel, kerosene,
heating oils, fuel oils, diesel, gas oil
C
(2)
Liquids with a constant base density or known thermal expansion
coefficient (TEC). You will be required to enter the TEC for your
process fluid.
D Lubricating oils
E NGL (Natural Gas Liquids) and LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas)
(2) Used only with API Table Number = 6, 24, or 54.
Note
The API referral application is not appropriate for the following process fluids: ethanol,
butadiene and butadiene mixes, isopentane, LNG, ethylene, propylene, cyclohexane,
aeromatics, asphalts, and road tars.
API Table Number and API Table Letter uniquely identify the API table. The selected API
table is displayed, and the meter automatically changes the density unit,
temperature unit, pressure unit, reference temperature, and reference pressure to
match the API table.
Restriction
Not all combinations are supported by the API referral application. See the list of API tables in
this manual.
4. If you chose a C table, enter Thermal Expansion Coefficient (TEC) for your process fluid.
5. Refer to the API documentation and confirm your table selection.
