| Definition (EN) | arbitrary scale adopted by the American Petroleum
Institute for characterizing the relative density of oils
NOTE 1 Its relation to relative density is as follows:
gravity API = (141,5/relative density 60°F/60°F) - 131,5
NOTE 2 60 °F corresponds to approximately 15,6 °C.
NOTE 3 The measuring scale is calibrated in terms of
degrees API. |

strane Američkog instituta za naftu
NAPOMENA 1 Njen odnos prema relativnoj gustoći je
sljedeći:
gustoća API = (141,5/relativna gustoća 60°F/60°F) - 131,5
NAPOMENA 2 60 °F otprilike iznosi 15,6 °C.
NAPOMENA 3 Mjerna skala kalibrirana je prema stepenima
API. |
