Crude oil volume to weight
or API (American Petroleum Institute) Gravity of Crude Petroleum and Liquid In Layman's terms, density is the mass of an object relative to the volume it The density of most oils will range between 700 and 950 kilograms per cubic Below is a chart displaying how API relates to specific gravity and weight per volume.
