Standard details
The API MPMS Chapter 11.1-2004/Adjunct to IP 200/ 04/Adjunct to ASTM D 1250-04 (ADJD 1250 CD) for temperature and pressure volume correction factors for generalized crude oils, refined products, and lubricating oils, provides the algorithm and implementation procedure for the correction of temperature and pressure effects on density and volume of liquid hydrocarbons. Natural gas liquids (NGLs) and liquefied petroleum gases (LPGs) are excluded from consideration. The combination of density and volume correction factors for both temperature and pressure is collectively referred to in the standard/adjunct(s) as a Volume Correction Factor (VCF). The temperature portion of this correction is termed the Correction for the effect of Temperature on Liquid (CTL). The pressure portion is termed the Correction for the effect of Pressure on Liquid (CPL).
