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, 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;

Examples of API Gravity in a sentence

  • 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 gravity determined in accordance with the ASTM Designation set out in Item 3.
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.
API Gravity or “gravity” as herein used means gravity determined in accordance with the ASTM Designation D-287-82 or the latest revision thereof.
API Gravity means gravity determined in accordance with American Society for Testing Materials (including any successor, “ASTM”) Designation 4052, or any successor publication.
API Gravity as used herein, means gravity determined in accordance with American Society for Testing Materials Designation D-287 and with the American Petroleum Institute MPMS Chapter 9 or updates thereto.
