DIN 51757 Standard Test for Determination of Density of Petroleum Products

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of DIN 51757 testing. For mineral oils and related substances, this document covers procedures for converting measured values ​​to density at standard temperature (15°C), converting density at standard temperature to density at a different temperature ("reference temperature"). and procedures for precisely calculating the volume correction factor, ȕt. The procedures to be used to measure density are also specified.

Density is used to calculate the mass of a given volume of the substance to be tested and to identify a product. The transformations described are necessary if the density is measured at a temperature other than the required temperature. It is preferable to determine the density at the required temperature rather than the conversion, as the error propagation is lower.

The density of petroleum products is usually expressed as a mass divided by a volume and is measured under a specific temperature and pressure. Density is an important property used in the characterization of petroleum products and commercial transactions.

DIN 51757 specifies the various methods used to determine the density of petroleum products and the specific requirements for the application of these methods. This standard provides guidance to those who will make density measurements in laboratory environments or industrial applications.
