Api Gravity (Car Care)

A gravity scale established by the American Petroleum Institute and in general use in the petroleum industry, the unit being called "the A.P.I. degree." This unit is defined in terms of specific gravity as follows:

Api Gravity (Energy)

The universally accepted scale adopted by the American Petroleum Institute (API) for expressing the density of liquid petroleum products. The higher the API gravity, the lighter the oil.

Api Gravity (Gasoline)

The American Petroleum Institute scale used to express the specific gravity of oils.

Api Gravity (Global Warming)

A scale expressing the density of petroleum products as established by the American Petroleum Institute.

Api Gravity (Import Cars)

The scale for the density (gravity) of a liquid petroleum product, expressed in API degrees. The lighter the product the higher the number.

Api Gravity (Oil)

A scale developed by the American Petroleum Institute for measuring the density or gravity of oil; the higher the number, the lighter the oil.

Api Gravity (Oil Acronyms)

An arbitrary scale expressing the gravity or density of liquid petroleum products devised jointly by the American Petroleum Institute and the National Bureau of Standards. The measuring scale is calibrated in terms of degrees API. Oil with the least specific gravity has the highest API gravity. The formula for determining API Gravity is as follows:
Degrees API Gravity= (141.5/Specific Gravity at 60 Deg. F) – 131.5

Api Gravity (Oil and Gasoline)

The industry standard method of expressing specific gravity of crude oils. Higher API gravities mean lower specific gravity and lighter oils.
