API Gravity definition

API Gravity means gravity determined in accordance with ASTM Designation D-287-92 or latest revision thereof.
API Gravity means gravity determined in accordance with the American Society for Testing Materials Designation set out in Item 3(A).
API Gravity means the American Petroleum Institute gravity expressed in degrees in relation to liquids, which is a measure of how heavy or light a petroleum liquid is compared to water. If a petroleum liquid's API gravity is greater than 10, it is lighter and floats on water; if less than 10, it is heavier than water and sinks. API gravity is thus a measure of the relative density of a petroleum liquid and the density of water, but it is used to compare the relative densities of petroleum liquids;

  • In the event HFRM desires to ship Crude Oil on the Malaga Pipeline System with an API Gravity in excess of 50 degrees, HEP Operating may, in its sole discretion, (i) refuse to ship such Crude Oil, or (ii) ship such Crude Oil and charge HFRM a surcharge (the “High-API Surcharge”) equal to the increased expenses (or lower revenues) or capital costs, as a direct result thereof, as agreed upon by the Parties.


More Definitions of API Gravity

API Gravity means a scale used to reflect the specific gravity (SG) of a fluid such as crude oil, water, or natural gas. The API gravity is calculated as [(141.5/SG) - 131.5], where SG is the specific gravity of the fluid at 60°F, where API refers to the American Petroleum Institute.
