1.2 A test method is given for calculating the volume at 60&degF from a volume observed at another temperature,&degF.

Note 1-Tables at 20&degC can be calculated from the data and information provided.

1.3 A test method is given for determining the weight in pounds per U.S. gallon (in air) at 60&degF from an observed specific gravity, and to compute therefrom the weight in pounds of a given volume of the liquid in U.S. gallons at 60&degF.

1.4This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
