ChemistryDensities and Viscosities of Gasoline 3.2.1 Typical values Gasoline have densities in the range 710 to 770 kg m-3 (68 to 52°API). The density of iso-octane, the benchmark hydrocarbon for…
ChemistryPhysical Properties of Gasolines Gasoline might of course simply be a straight run distillate from crude oil. It might have been blended with reformed naphtha as an extender, and…
ChemistryViscosity of blended Crude Oils Crude oils often are blended. This is partly because very many are ‘out of spec’ in sweetness (absence of sulphur) and in lightness (reciprocal density).…
ChemistryClassifications of Crude Oil in terms of Density Density is an important property in the pricing of a particular crude oil. Lighter crudes are preferred because they are richer in the lowest boiling…
ChemistryElectrical properties of Hydrocarbon The electrical properties of any hydrocarbon have direct relevance to fire safety. If in movement or in tank filling a hydrocarbon liquid is splashed, static…
