If the density and temperature of a water sample are known, salinity can be determined from a graph (Fig. The more dissolved salts there are in a body of water, the greater the density of the water.  Using a Hydrometer to Determine Density and Salinityīoth temperature and salinity affect density. During low tide, a tidepool that is not connected to the ocean can become hypersaline when evaporating water leaves salts behind. Hypersaline water, or brine, is very salty seawater, above approximately 38 ppt. When the evaporated water is condensed, no minerals remain and the water is pure.īrackish water is a mixture of fresh water and seawater, below approximately 33 ppt (Fig. When water is evaporated, only water molecules escape into the air, leaving the heavier minerals behind. Distilled water has gone through the distillation process, which involves evaporating and condensing the water several times to remove dissolved matter.

Water is not considered pure unless it has been distilled. Freshwater lakes, rivers, and streams contain some dissolved matter—1 ppt or less (Fig. Seawater generally ranges from 33 ppt to 38 ppt. You can use that calculator.The average salinity of seawater is about 35 grams per kilogram (g/kg) of seawater, or 35 ppt. There is an option of embedding the calculator. To understand the density of water, let’s do a small experiment. Used formulas are listed below the calculator. “State system for ensuring the uniformity of measurements for the density of oil. Formulas are taken from Russia’s GOST R 8.610-2004. The recalculation of the density of oil for different temperature and pressure values. Values are determined at existing temperatures and corrected to 15☌ or 60☏ by means of a series of calculations and international standard tables.

Other factors affect waters density such as whether it is tap or fresh water or salt water. Water has the maximum density of 1 g/cm 3 only when it is pure water. When the temperature changes from either greater or less than 4 degrees, the density will become less then 1 g/cm 3. This test method covers the laboratory determination using a glass hydrometer in conjunction with a series of calculations of the density, relative density, or API gravity of crude petroleum, petroleum products, or mixtures of oil and nonpetroleum products generally handled as liquids, and having a Reid vapour pressure of 101.325 kPa (14.696 psi) or less. Water has its maximum density of 1g/cm 3 at 4 degrees Celsius. Lighter crude oil may require special handling to prevent vapour losses.ĪSTM D1298-12: Standard Test Method for Density, Relative Density (Specific Gravity), or API Gravity of Crude Petroleum and Liquid Petroleum Products by Hydrometer Method. This test method was evaluated in interlaboratory study testing using crude oils in the range of 0.75 g/mL to 0.95 g/mL. This test method applies to crude oils with high vapour pressures, provided appropriate precautions are taken to prevent vapour loss during the transfer of the sample to the density analyser. This test method covers the determination of the density, relative density, and API gravity of crude oils that may be handled generally as liquids at test temperatures between 15 ☌ and 35 ☌ utilizing either manual or automated sample injection equipment. Here is a simple density (and viscosity) units conversion tool:ĪSTM D5002-19: Standard Test Method for Density, Relative Density, and API Gravity Of Crude Oils By Digital Density Analyser. This is not always the case, as some Group IV base oils can have a higher density than water, effectively causing the oil to sink in the water. This is why if you have a moisture problem in your lube system that the water settles to the bottom of the sump and is drained out first whenever the plug is pulled, or the valve is opened. If the density of an object is less than that of water, then that object will float. This means that most oils will float on water as they are lighter by volume.

In oils, it is usually indicated in the temperature of +15☌ or +20☌, in units kg/m3. The density of most oils will range between 700 and 950 kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m3). Most systems are designed to pump a fluid of a specific density, so as the density begins to change, the pump’s efficiency begins to change as well. Density plays a critical role in how lubricant functions and how machines perform.
