Note:
Density or API is provided by the terminal or
surveyor in the load ports and what is used will be
dependent on the region / port of loading.
For example in USA / Canada, Persian Gulf, API
usage is prevalent, while entire of Europe and Asia
uses Density at 150C.

PROCEDURE OF CALCULATIONS
Working with API Gravity at 60oF :
1) Observed Ullage - apply trim and list corrections
- get Corrected Ullage
2) Observed Interface - apply corrections - get
Corrected Interface
3) From Corrected Ullage, find Total Observed
Volume (in metric cube)
4) From Corrected Interface, find Volume of Water
(in metric cube)
5) TOV - Water = Gross Observed Volume of
Cargo, GOV (in metric cube)
CARGO CALCULATIONS
11
6) Use API Gravity at 600F and Observed

Temperature (0F) and find Volume Correction
Factor (VCF) from Table 6A
7) Gross Standard Volume (GSV) = Gross
Observed Cargo Volume x VCF
8) Convert GSV in metric cube to US Barrels
( 1 m3 = 6.28981 barrels )
8) Find Weight Correction Factor (WCF) from Table
13
9) Weight in Air (Metric Tons) = GSV x WCF

Working Examples
From the ullage table, volume for 2.18 m ullage =
10098.3 m3
Find Volume Correction Factor (VCF) from ASTM
Table 6A

From ASTM Table 6A, VCF = 0.9783

Gross Standard Volume (GSV) = Observed Cargo
Volume x VCF
GSV
= 10098.3 x 0.9783
= 9879.2 m3
Convert GSV in metric cube to US Barrels

( 1 m3 = 6.28981 barrels )
GSV in barrels = 9879.2 x 6.28981
= 62138 bbls

Find Weight Correction Factor (WCF) from ASTM Table 13
CARGO CALCULATIONS
18
From ASTM Table 13, WCF = 0.15483

Weight in Air (Metric Tons) = GSV (in barrels) x WCF
= 62138 x 0.15483
= 9620.8 mt

PROCEDURE OF CALCULATIONS
Working with Density at 15oC in air:
1)Observed Ullage - apply corrections - get
Corrected Ullage
2)Observed Interface - apply corrections - get
Corrected Interface
3)From Corrected Ullage, find Total Observed
Volume TOV (in cubic metres)
4)From Corrected Interface, find Volume of Water
(in cubic metres)
5) TOV - Water = Gross Observed Volume (GOV)
of Cargo (in cubic metres)
CARGO CALCULATIONS

6) Use Density at 15oC and Observed Temperature

(oC) and find Volume Correction Factor (VCF) from
Table 54A
7) Gross Standard Volume (GSV) = GOV x VCF (in
cubic metres)
8) Convert GSV in metric cube to US Barrels
( Use ASTM Table 52 to convert cubic meters
at 15oC to barrels at 60 deg Fahrenheit)

9) Find Weight Correction Factor (WCF) from Table

table 3)
API = 141.5 131.5
SG
Where SG is the Specific Gravity of cargo i.e
density of cargo / density water
