Use in Excel: =ASTM_Table54_VCF(B2, B3, B4) 6.1 Comparison with Official ASTM Table 54 (Excerpt) | Density15 (kg/m³) | Temp (°C) | Official VCF | Excel VCF (2004) | Delta | |------------------|-----------|--------------|------------------|-------| | 800.0 | 20.0 | 0.99565 | 0.99566 | +0.00001 | | 850.0 | 30.0 | 0.98234 | 0.98233 | -0.00001 | | 900.0 | 45.0 | 0.96891 | 0.96890 | -0.00001 |
Actually, for crude oils, the formula simplifies using a different set. More precisely, API 11.1.4 gives for crude oils: astm table 54 excel
Excel: VCF = 0.96942 Volume at 15°C = 5000 * 0.96942 = 4847.1 m³ Use in Excel: =ASTM_Table54_VCF(B2, B3, B4) 6
' API 11.1.4 standard polynomial ASTM_Table54_VCF = Exp(-alpha * dt * (1 + 0.5 * alpha * dt + (1 / 6) * alpha ^ 2 * dt ^ 2)) End Function Use in Excel: =ASTM_Table54_VCF(B2
Where (K_0, K_1, K_2) are coefficients specific to product groups (e.g., crude oils, gasoline, diesel). ASTM Table 54 corresponds primarily to and Generalized Products – Group 1 (refined products with moderate expansion). 3.
