ISO 12185:2024

Crude petroleum, petroleum products and related products - Determination of density - Laboratory density meter with an oscillating U-tube sensor

This document specifies a method for the determination, using an oscillating U-tube density meter, of the density of crude petroleum and related products within the range 600 kg/m³ to 1 100 kg/m³, which can be handled as single-phase liquids at the test temperature and pressure.

This document is applicable to liquids of any vapour pressure as long as suitable precautions are taken to ensure that they remain in single phase. Loss of light components leads to changes in density during both the sample handling and the density determination.

This method is not intended for use with in-line density meters.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.
