ASTM D1250-80 (API MPMS Chapter 11.1) is the master document that defines the complete series of petroleum measurement tables, organized into volumes based on application. Table 54B sits within this framework.
: Table 54B is specifically designed for refined petroleum products (like gasoline or diesel) rather than crude oil. Astm Table 54b Excel
By applying the volume correction factor (VCF) derived from this table, users can convert the gross observed volume (G.O.V.) measured at cargo temperature into the gross standard volume (G.S.V.) at the base temperature of 15°C. This conversion ensures consistency and comparability across different temperature conditions. Additionally, Table 56 often works in conjunction with Table 54B to provide the Weight Conversion Factor (WCF), which further converts gross standard volume into metric tons (in air).
