Table 6c - Volume correction factors for MTBE
Table 54c - Volume correction factors for MTBE

Gives users of the API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards Chapter 11.1 Vol 3 (Table 6C) and Vol 9 (Table 54C) revised volume correction factor tables for MTBE. These tables may be used to expedite calculation of the volume of mixtures composed predominantly of MTBE at standard conditions from volumes at other conditions. The tables apply to commercially available mixtures containing at least 85 weight per cent MTBE. The information thus gained can be used for determining quantities of MTBE in tanks, shipping containers and other storage containers typically used in the petroleum industry.
