The American Petroleum Institute gravity, or API gravity, is a measure of how heavy or light a petroleum liquid is compared to water. If its API gravity is greater than 10, it is lighter and floats on water; if less than 10, it is heavier and sinks. API gravity is thus an inverse measure of the relative density of a petroleum liquid and the densit...

An arbitrary scale expressing the gravity or density of liquid petroleum products devised jointly by the American Petroleum Institute and the National Bureau of Standards. The measuring scale is calibrated in terms of degrees API. Oil with the least specific gravity has the highest API gravity. The formula for determining API Gravity is as follows:...

An arbitrary scale expressing the density of liquid (gravity) petroleum products devised jointly by the American Petroleum Institute and the National Bureau of Standards. Oil with the least specific gravity has the highest API gravity. The measuring scale is calibrated in terms of degrees API. API Gravity is the industry standard for expressing the specific gravity of crude oils. A high API gravity means lower specific gravity and lighter oils.
Degrees API Gravity = (141.5/Specific Gravity at 60 Deg. F) â€` 131.5
