density, absolute

The mass of a substance per unit of volume at a specified temperature and pressure.

NOTE 1 Absolute density is sometimes referred to as “true density”, “density”, “mass density” or as “density in vacuo.”

NOTE 2 When reporting density, the reference conditions must be stated. In practice, the pressure, if not explicitly stated, is assumed to be standard pressure.

5 Significance and Use

A prior standard (API MPMS 11.2.3, 1984), which the first edition of this Standard replaced, was based on the internationally accepted work of Wagenbreth and Blanke, which produced a density of 999.012 kg/m3 at 15.5556 °C (60 °F) and 101.325 kPa (14.696 psia). In 1994, Patterson and Morris published a paper proposing a new equation based on their laboratory data of VSMOW (see Annex B), which was accepted by the USA’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

This Standard, based on the Patterson and Morris work, is applicable between 1 °C and 40 °C (33.8 °F and 104 °F), at standard pressure; 101.325 kPa (14.696 psia).

This Standard also provides an equation for the compressibility of water based on a compressibility equation contained in a 2001 Tanaka paper. The range of applicability is for gauge pressures of 0 kPa to 10,000 kPa (0 psig to 1450 psig) for water temperatures between 1 °C and 40 °C (33.8 °F and 104 °F).

Specific applications include:

determination of base prover volumes (BPV)

determination of pycnometer base volumes (PBV)

conversions between liquid density units

calculation of water content based on fluid and water density

 

 

6 Implementation Procedures

6.1 Representative Density Values

Representative density values are presented, at standard pressure [101.325 kPa (14.696 psia)], for U.S. customary (USC) and International System of Units (SI) units in Annex A for calculation verification purposes.

6.2 Absolute Density of Water

This Standard is based on the Patterson and Morris work for water density at standard pressure, which is applicable for the temperature range 1 °C to 40 °C (33.8 °F to 104 °F).

The following equation expresses the density of water, at standard pressure [101.325 kPa (14.696 psia)], as a function of temperature in degrees Celsius (°C):

)]EDCBA(1[ρρ 5432

0t ttttt (1)

Where:

t = density at temperature t and 101.325 kPa, in kg/m3

0 = density at temperature t0, 999.973 58 kg/m3

t = t – t0

t = temperature, in °C

t0 = 3.9818 °C

A = 7.0134 × 10-8

B = 7.926 504 × 10-6

C = -7.575 677 × 10-8

D = 7.314 894 × 10-10

E = -3.596 458 × 10-12

For temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit (°F), calculate t in the above equation using equation (2):

08.1

Where:

°F = temperature, in °F

 

 

Equation 1 produces the following results:

NOTES:

a. The USC values were converted to pounds per gallon by multiplying by 0.008 345 404 452 (reference MPMS Chapter 11.5).

These values may be rounded further depending upon their ultimate use.

6.3 Correction for Temperature on Water (CTL)

The liquid volume correction for temperature on water (CTL) with respect to a chosen reference temperature is the density at temperature t divided by the density of water at that reference temperature in consistent units of density.

The CTL equation for water referenced to 60 °F (15.5556 °C) is:

6.4 Correction for Pressure on Water (CPL)

Equation 6 provides a correction for the effects of pressure on water. While it is effective at low pressures, at pressures of 800 kPa or so, the calculated value will exhibit biases relative to accepted water property predictive equations such as those provided by the International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam that are noticeable within the discrimination identified for CPL in Table 2. CPL is also affected by water temperature. The given equation is effective in the range of 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F). Beyond these limits of pressure and temperature, the provided CPL calculation uncertainty and/or bias increases significantly and may not meet metrological requirements.

The density of deaerated water has been given at an absolute pressure of 101.325 kPa (14.696 psia). Water is slightly compressible, so a correction must be made for pressures other than standard pressure.

 

 

Based on the work by Tanaka, the density at standard pressure should be multiplied by the equation for compressibility of water (CPL):

Where, in SI units:

p = p pstd

p = absolute pressure in kilopascals (kPa)

pstd = standard pressure of 101.325 kPa

k0 = 5.074 × 10-7

k1 = -3.26 × 10-9

k2 = 4.16 × 10-11

t = temperature in C

For USC units, perform the following conversions:

For temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit (°F), calculate t in the above equation using equation (7):

Where:

°F = temperature in °F

For pressures in pounds per square inch (psia), calculate p in the above equation using equation (8):

757894.6 psiap (8)

Where:

psia = absolute pressure in pounds per square inch (psia)

6.5 Correction for Temperature and Pressure on Liquid (CTPL)

The combined correction for temperature and pressure on the density of water shall be calculated using the following equations:

pF 1CTPLrefw,

t

(9)

Where:

ρt = density as obtained using Equation 1

ρw,ref = density as obtained from Table 1

F = water compressibility factor in kPa-1 as shown in Equation 6

 

 

CTPL is equivalent to the product of CTL and CPL without any intermediate rounding applied to the two factors.

6.6 Flowing Density (ρtp)

The flowing density of water shall be calculated using one of the following equations:

CTPLρρ btp (10)

CPLρρ ttp (11)

Where:

ρtp = flowing density at t and p in kg/m3

ρb = density at reference temperature and pressure in kg/m3

ρt = density at t and 101.325 kPa (14.696 psia) in kg/m3

CTPL = Correction for Temperature and Pressure on Liquid

CPL = Correction for Pressure on Liquid

6.7 CTDW Correction Factor for Volumetric Provers

For waterdraw calibrations of volumetric provers, a Correction for the Temperature Difference of Water (CTDW) between the test measure and the prover at 101.325 kPa (14.696 psia) is utilized.

The CTDW is calculated as follows:

p

tm

ρ

ρCTDW (12)

Where:

CTDW = Correction for the Effect of the Difference in Temperature of the Water between the Prover and the Test Measure during the Prover Calibration

tm = water density in the test measure at Ttm and 101.325 kPa (14.696 psia)

p = water density in the prover at Tp and 101.325 kPa (14.696 psia)

The densities tm and p are calculated from equation (1).

6.8 Other Influence Factors on Water Density

6.8.1 Overview

Besides pressure and temperature, the density of water is impacted by many other factors, not all of which are taken into account in typical petroleum industry applications. A brief discussion of the influence factors is given in the following paragraphs.

6.8.2 Water Aeration

For petroleum industry applications, the impact of water aeration is assumed to be insignificant, or is controlled by defined procedures for water handling within the application.

 

 

6.8.3 Water Quality

For petroleum industry applications, potable water is usually presumed to be acceptable unless indicated otherwise for the specific application. The World Health Organization Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality provides guidance on all aspects of potable water. For applications requiring more control, ASTM defines specifications for reagent water used in a laboratory environment in ASTM D1193. In developing water density equations, Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water (VSMOW) may be referenced (See Annex B).

6.8.3.1 Isotopes

While it is commonly accepted that water consists of only H2O, in fact it also contains several related isotopes such as deuterium (heavy water). The isotopic composition varies around the world and has a small impact on water density. Variability of isotopic composition is not considered significant for petroleum industry applications.

6.8.3.2 Dissolved and Suspended Materials

Salts and minerals can be dissolved in water and sediments can be suspended in unfiltered water. The presence of these materials has a significant impact on the density. For example, fresh water (potable water) has a density of approximately 1000 kg/m3 at room temperature, while produced saltwater and seawater can have densities of 1150 kg/m3 or more. For this reason, it is important to make use of potable water or water with more stringent specifications for petroleum industry applications to minimize the bias errors associated with dissolved and suspended materials.

7 Discrimination

The number of significant figures for various terms is presented in Table 1. Discrimination for the input parameters for this standard, temperature and pressure, are defined by calculation standards in Chapter 12. For other applications, the discriminations in Table 1 may be appropriate. When the figure to the right of the last place to be retained is less than 5, the figure in the last place retained should be unchanged.

8 Examples

8.1 Water Density (USC Units)

Water is at a temperature of 78.0 °F and a pressure of 284.0 psig. The observed barometric pressure was 13.696 psia. What is the water density?

 

 

The density may be calculated using the method shown in equations (10) or (11).

Using equations 10, 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, a reference temperature (Tb) of 60.0 °F, and, the appropriate rounding requirements stated in Table 2 the density is calculated as shown below:

ρtp = ρw,60 kg/m3 × CTPL = X XXX.xxx kg/m3 Tb = (°F – 32)/1.8 = XX.x5 °C t = (°F – 32)/1.8 = XX.x5 °C p = (psig + barometric pressure psia) × 6.894 757 = unrounded kPa Δp = p – 101.325 kPa = X XXX.0 kPa CTL = ρt / ρw,60 = X.xxx xxx F = 1 + (k0 +k1t + k2t

2) = 0.xxx xxx xxx kPa-1 CPL = 1 + FΔp = 1.xxx xxx CTPL = ρt / ρw,60 (1 + FΔp) = X.xxx xxx

Solving, t = 25.55 °C p = (284.0 psig + 13.696 psia) × 6.894 757 = 2052.541 579 kPa Δp = 2052.541 579 – 101.325 = 1951.0 kPa ρt = 996.903 kg/m3 CTL = 996.903 / 999.016 = 0.997 885 F = 4.51 × 10-7 kPa-1 CPL = 1.000 880 CTPL = 0.998 763 ρtp = 999.016 kg/m3 × 0.998 763 = 997.780 kg/m3

Alternately, using equation 11, the above results and appropriate rounding requirements stated in Table 2 the density is calculated as shown below:

ρtp = ρt × CPL = X XXX.xxx kg/m3

Solving, t = 25.55 °C Δp = 1,951.0 kPa ρt = 996.903 kg/m3

 

 

F = 4.51 × 10-7 kPa-1 CPL = 1.000 880 ρtp = ρt × CPL = 997.780 kg/m3

8.2 CTDW (USC Units)

During a waterdraw, the water in the prover is 80.7 °F and the water in a field standard test measure is 83.0 °F. What is the CTDW value?

The CTDW term is calculated using equations 12, 1, 7, and, the appropriate rounding requirements stated in Table 2 as shown below:

CTDW = ρtm / ρp = X.xxx xxx ttm = (°F – 32)/1.8 = XX.x5 °C tp = (°F – 32)/1.8 = XX.x5 °C ρtm = X XXX.xxx kg/m3

ρp = X XXX.xxx kg/m3

Solving,

ttm = 28.35 °C tp = 27.05 °C ρtm = 996.134 kg/m3

ρp = 999.500 kg/m3

CTDW = 0.999 633

8.3 Water Density (SI Units)

Water is at a temperature of 12.00 °C and a gauge pressure of 1405.0 kPa. The observed barometric pressure was 96.325 kPa. What is the water density?

The density may be calculated using the method shown in equation 10 or 11.

Using equations 10, 1, 4, 6, a reference temperature (Tb) of 15.00 °C, and the appropriate rounding requirements stated in Table 2 the density is calculated as shown below:

ρtp = ρw,15 kg/m3 × CTPL = X XXX.xxx kg/m3 t = XX.x5 °C p = kPa gauge + barometric pressure kPa = unrounded kPa Δp = p – 101.325 kPa = X XXX.0 kPa

 

 

CTL = ρt / ρw,15 = X.xxx xxx F = 1 + (k0 +k1t + k2t

2) = 0.xxx xxx xxx kPa-1 CPL = 1 + FΔp = 1.xxx xxx CTPL = ρt / ρw,15 (1 + FΔp) = X.xxx xxx

Solving, t = 12.00 °C p = 1405.0 kPa gauge + 96.325 kPa = 1501.325 kPa Δp = 1501.325 – 101.325 = 1400.0 kPa ρt = 999.500 kg/m3 CTL = 999.500 / 999.102 = 1.000 398 F = 4.743 × 10-7 kPa-1 CPL = 1.000 664 CTPL = 1.001 063 ρtp = 999.102 kg/m3 × 1.001 063 = 1000.164 kg/m3

Alternately, using equation 11, the above results and appropriate rounding requirements stated in Table 2 the density is calculated as shown below:

ρtp = ρt × CPL = X XXX.xxx kg/m3

Solving, t = 12.00 °C Δp = 1400.0 kPa ρt = 999.500 kg/m3 F = 44.743 × 10-7 kPa-1 CPL = 1.000 664 ρtp = ρt × CPL = 1000.164 kg/m3

8.4 CTDW (SI Units)

During a waterdraw, the water in the prover is 19.00 °C and the water in a field standard test measure is 18.40 °C. What is the value of CTDW?

The CTDW term is calculated using equations 12, 1, and the appropriate rounding requirements stated in Table 2 as shown below:

CTDW = ρtm / ρp = X.xxx xxx

 

 

ρtm = X XXX.xxx kg/m3 ρp = X XXX.xxx kg/m3

Solving, ttm = 18.40 °C tp = 19.00 °C ρtm = 998.523 kg/m3

ρp = 998.407 kg/m3

CTDW = 1.000 116

Reference Standard Water

The Patterson & Morris equation (1) is based on the isotopic composition of Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water (VSMOW). VSMOW is so named because it is distributed by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) headquartered in Vienna.

It should be noted that water obtained from other sources does not have the same isotopic composition and thus has slightly different densities. Evaporation or distillation shifts the isotopic composition as molecules with heavier isotopes of hydrogen and/or oxygen have slightly higher boiling points. Conversely, rain or snow tends to slightly concentrate molecules with the heavier isotopes, leaving more of the lighter molecules in the air. The result is that fresh water varies widely in isotopic composition around the earth. However, the isotopic composition of deep ocean water is reasonably constant everywhere.

VSMOW is expensive and of limited availability. Current commercially available densitometers using water as a reference density standard are not sensitive enough to measure the density difference between distilled fresh water and VSMOW.

Basis for Water Density Equation Selection

The Patterson equation has a 1 sigma (σ) uncertainty of ±0.00064 kg/m3 at 60 °F. Listing the density at 60 °F and those equivalent to plus or minus one σ, each rounded to 3 places past the decimal, provides:

999.01666 999.017

999.01602 999.016

999.01538 999.015

Likewise, the Tanaka equation has a 1 sigma (σ) uncertainty of ± 0.00083 kg/m3 at 15.5556 °C (60 °F). This means that the calculated density of water of 999.01692 kg/m3 most likely lies between 999.01775 and 999.01609. Listing the values, each rounded to 3 places past the decimal, provides:

999.01775 999.018

999.01692 999.017

999.01609 999.016

The Wagner and Pruss equation has a 1 sigma (σ) uncertainty of ±0.000999 kg/m3 at 15.5556 °C (60 °F). Listing the values, each rounded to 3 places past the decimal, provides:

999.01808 999.018

999.01708 999.017

999.01608 999.016

When compared at reference temperature, the results of the three equations are within the experimental uncertainty of 0.001 kg/m3. The difference is for all practical purposes insignificant. Thus, API has elected to use the Patterson & Morris equation until it can be shown that the prediction of the true density of water does not lie within the experimental uncertainty of the chosen equation.
