![]() ![]() It is theĬompany policy that, except where tank calibrations are only in barrels, calculations ofĬargo quantity will be done using density at 15C and cubic metres as a volume measure. There are several standard temperatures in use throughout the industry. This to density at 15C, or API using table 3 in volume XI/XII Relative density 60/60 is the density of cargo at 60F/density of fresh water at 60F. Use table 54A or B in volumes VII or VIII or convert to API using table 3 in volume Relative density 15/4 can be treated exactly the same way as density at 15C as it is almost the Relative density 15/4 is the density of oil at 15C/density of fresh water at 4C.
