9、ds of Petroleum Origin5.1 The coefficient of thermal expansion used in GuideD1250, is 0.00040/F for the temperature range from 17.7 to65.5C (0 to 150F), and petroleum oils ranging from 15.0 to34.9API gravity or 0.9659 to 0.8504 relative density (specificgravity). In the preparation of these tables f
10、or relative density(specific gravity) values above 0.600, it has been assumed forpurposes of standardization that all crude petroleum andpetroleum products have uniform coefficients of expansion inthe same temperature ranges. When the required accuracy ofresults falls within these assumptions, this
11、value for coefficientof expansion may be used.5.2 If closer approximation than that indicated in 5.1 isrequired, the coefficient of thermal expansion may be calcu-lated by determining observed relative densities (specificgravities). Determine the relative densities at any two tempera-tures below 90C
12、 (194F) and not less than 5C (9F), normore than 14C (25F) degrees apart by Practice D1298. Thedifference in the observed relative densities at the two tem-peratures divided by the product of the relative density at thelower temperature and the difference in the two temperaturesmay be used as the ave
