Oil Density Calculator
Convert API gravity to crude oil specific gravity and density in kg/m3.
Description
Convert API gravity to crude oil specific gravity and density in kg/m3.
Oil Density Calculator: Convert API gravity to crude oil specific gravity and density in kg/m3.
When to use Oil Density
Use this geological calculation for a transparent first-pass interpretation of measured rock, soil, fluid, well, stratigraphic, isotopic, geophysical, or seismic data under an explicitly selected model.
- API gravity
- Crude oil gravity in degrees API.
How Oil Density works
Convert API gravity to crude oil specific gravity and density in kg/m3. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1
- Specific gravity
- Specific gravity relative to water at 15.6 C.
- Density
- Oil density in kilograms per cubic metre.
Limitations and assumptions
- Geotechnical correlations and idealized failure models depend on stratigraphy, sampling disturbance, drainage, stress history, groundwater, density, anisotropy, scale, construction sequence, and laboratory or field method. Site-specific design requires investigation and code factors.
- Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.
Alternative or Complementary approaches
Compare independent measurements and models, retain units and analytical metadata, propagate uncertainty, and validate interpretations against logs, cores, maps, laboratory data, or field observations.
