METTLER TOLEDO DE40/50/51 Density Meter 75
Special application cards
14. Description of the special applications:
BRIX, ALCOHOL, API, VISCOSITY CORRECTION, COKE, USER
TABLES
The standard software of the DE40/50/51 can be expanded by various software options
(METTLER TOLEDO Service) that are available on Memory Card. This allows you to match
the selection of the method parameters to your requirements.
14.1 API software
The density of crude oils, oil products or lubricants must in some cases be measured at
elevated temperatures owing to their viscosity. With this software, stored tabulated values
are used for the automatic conversion of this density to that at 15 °C or 60 °F, depending on
the temperature unit you measure with. The tabulated values are based on API standard
2540 (API: American Petroleum Institute).
Under the parameters of the temperature compensation, select the required oil table (see
Section 9.2 and 14.4).
Oil table 1: the density of crude oils is converted to the reference temperature of 15° C
(or 60° F) according to table 53A of the API standard.
Oil table 2: the density of oil products is converted to the reference temperature of
15° C (or 60° F) according to table 53B of the API standard.
Oil table 3: the density of lubricants is converted to the reference temperature of
15° C (or 60° F) according to table 53D of the API standard.
To calculate the "API degrees", enter "((1/d) – 1)
*
141.5 + 10" as concentration function (see
Section 9.2 and 14.6).
14.2 Alcohol software
With this software the measured density of an alcoholic solution can be converted to the
corresponding volume concentration of Ethanol in water i.e. %
v
/
v
. Two different conversion
tables exist for this conversion, depending on the physical unit the temperature is measured
(and the reference temperature):
14.2.1 Temperature measured in °F, with a reference temperature at 60 °F:
This option is activated by selecting the temperature unit °F (see Section 11.6). The stored
values are based on table 3 of NBS Circular 19 (NBS: National Bureau of Standards, since
1988: National Institute of Standards and Technology). You must perform your
measurements at 60 °F to obtain the correct ethanol content.
