ASTM International is no longer selling its 11-volume printed Petroleum Measurement Tables, a historical document created in 1980. This has been superseded by updates from the American Petroleum Institute’s Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards, a jointly developed document linked to an existing ASTM International standard and its adjunct.
This updated approach considers a broader range of temperature and also takes into account pressure effects on volume correction factors, a combination that more accurately depicts actual field conditions, according to API.
Moving forward, the industry can use these documents on a voluntary basis:
