TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION METHOD - DENSITY RATIOS FOR LIQUID PETROLEUM
PRODUCTS
1
Acceptable temperature compensation range: -40°C to +70°C. Temperature compensated volume changes
for specific products are determined using the formula:
V
o
= V
t
(
t
/
o
)
where: V
t
= uncompensated gross volume
V
o
= calculated temperature compensated volume
t
/
o
= ratio of density at measured temperature to density at base temperature
The ratio of density is calculated after inserting the appropriate constants into the equation below:
t
/
o
= e
-
Where: = -
o
(t - 15) [1 +
o
(0.8) (t - 15)]
t = measured temperature
o
= K

Notes:
The ratio of density is equation 4.16 from page 9 of the PTB-A 5 Measuring Systems for Liquids other than
Water - June 1999 edition.
Setting factor pairs used to calculate
o
above (K
0
and K
1
or A and B) are taken from Table 4.2 on page 10 of
the PTB-A 5 Measuring Systems for Liquids other than Water - June 1999 edition.
