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.
