    (Crude Oil Lab.) Experiment 1: Density & Specific Gravity

    Uploaded by

    This document summarizes an experiment conducted by students to determine the density and specific gravity of various fluids. The students calculated the density of naphtha, gas oil, and kerogen by measuring their mass and volume. They then used these density values to calculate the specific gravity and API of each fluid. Naphtha had the highest API value at 59.71, followed by kerogen at 45.2 and gas oil at 36.9. The discussion notes that density inversely correlates with API, and higher API indicates better fluid quality.

    Objective :
    The purpose of the experiment is to learn ABI of fluids and
    density , specific gravity.
    Introduction :
    Density is defined as the mass per unit volume of a substance. The
    symbol most often used for density is (p)(the Greek letter rho).
    Density is temperature-dependent It is most often reported for
    oils in units of g/mL or g/cm ³ , and less often in units of kg/m³,
    density also defined as its weight per unit volume.
    Now, mathematically, density is defined as mass divided by
    volume:
    p= m/v

    Where (p) is the density, (m) is the mass, and (v) is the volume.
    From this equation, mass density must have units of a unit of
    mass per unit of volume. As there are many units of mass and
    volume covering many different magnitudes there are a large
    number of units for mass density in use.
    - The (SI) unit of kilogram per cubic meter (kg/m³)
    -The (ces) unit of gram per cubic centimeter (g/cm³)
    These are probably the most common used units for density .
    Procedure:
    1- We calculate the net weight of each fluid by means of
    the sensitive scale

    2- We must know the volume of the beaker in which the


    fluids were weighed, such as 50 ml

    3- We find the density of each fluid by applying this law


    p=m/v

    4- Then we find sp.gr by application of this law


    sp.gr=P/P.h2o

    5 - We find API of fluid API=141.5/SP.GR – 131.5


    Pyknometer & Hydrometer

    Results:
    w.of water = 24.7 g , w.of naphtha = 18.56

    w.of gas oil= 21.12g , w.of kerogen=19.98

    volume of flask = 25ml

    p.of naphtha=m/v = 18.56/25 = 0.74 = s.p.g

    p.of gas oil = m/v = 21.12/25= 0.84=s.p.g

    p.of kerogen=m/v=19.98/25=0.8=s.p.g

    API = 141.5/s.p.g – 131.5

    API of naphtha = 59.71

    API of oil gas = 36.9

    API of kerogen = 45.2

    Naphtha > kerogen > gas oil

    DISCUSSION
     We find that the density is inversely proportional to
    the API, the higher the density, the less the API.
     We find that the higher the API value, the greater the
    fluid acceptability and quality.
     What is the relationship between pressure and
    temperature in relation to density?
    - P α 1/T
    - P α pressure
     Who is more accurate in calculating the pycnometer
    or hydrometer density?
    - Pycnometer is more accurate than hydrometer
     What is the relationship between API and density?
    - Density α 1/API
