STANDARD ABRIDGED VOLUME CORRECTION TABLE
FOR PETROLEUM OILS1
A.S.T.M. Designation: D 206 - 36
This table is issued under the fixed designation D 206. the final number in­
dicates the year of original adoption as standard or, in case of revision, the year
of last revision.
ADOPTED, 1925: RE\'ISED, 19H, 1936.
This abridged table has been prepared by the National Bureau of
Standards to meet a demand from the oil industry for a short and
convenient table for reducing oil volumes to the basis of 60 F., when ex­
treme accuracy is not required. It is not intended to replace the
Bureau of Standards Circular No. 410, but rather to supplement it
and especially to replace the various abridged tables heretofore em­
ployed in the oil industry.
The groups, coefficients of expansion, gravity (degrees A.P.I.),
and gravity ranges for the several subdivisions of the present abridged
table follow:

6. 0.00085 91 89.0 to 93.9
7. 0.00090 97 94.0 to 100.0
All motor fuel blends of gasoline and benzol shall be considered
as falling in Group 3. In cases of uncertainty regarding the presence
of benzol, a product having a gravity heavier (numerically less) than
51 deg. A.P.I., and a 50 per cent recovery point less than 293 F.
(145 C.) shall be considered as falling in Group 3.
This table shows the volume occupied at 60 F. by a quantity
of oil occupying unit volume at the indicated temperatures.
I Under tho .•tandardizatinn procedure of the Society. this table is under the jurisdiction of tho
A.S.T.M. CommIttee 0-2 on Petroleum Products and Lubricant;.
This abridged table differs from that published in 1934 in three respects: The multipliers for
Group II havo been levised slightly; Group I has been extended from 249 to 499 F.; and GrouPS 4. S
and 6 have been extended from 99 to 124 F.
The multiplien in the Group 0 table in the 1934 standard were taken from the National Bureau
of Standards Miscdlsn.ous Publicalion No. ~·7. With the revision of Circular No. 154 (published as
Circular No. 410) to include data on oils from 0 to 10· A.P.I., it has seemed desirable to employ the
procedure followed in the other groUPS and chOOse the column of multipliers from the unabridged table
which has a base coefficient of expansion ncarest 0.00035, which in the case of Group 0 is the column
corresponding to a gravity of 6" A.P.I.
