Oil/Gas - Specific Gravity of Diesel
Expert: Alan H. Coogan - 6/7/2009
Question Does the SP of diesel vary from batch to batch and does it change throughout the day under changing temperatures? Thank you. Mark
Answer Yes to both. Specific gravity is the ratio of density of a material to the density of water at a specified temperature.
Therefore, as temps change so does sg. Moreover, diesel is a term for a variety of hydrocarbon compounds of different densities.
