FOREWORD

The Objectives

The complete collection of the jointly issued API/ASTM-IP tables of which this volume is a part is the result of close cooperation between the American Petroleum Institute (API), the Institute of Petroleum (London) (IP), and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). The overall objective of this effort was to meet the worldwide need for a uniform and authoritative publication, based on the most accurate information available. This publication serves as a basis for standardized calculations of measured quantities of petroleum fluids regardless of point of origin, destination, or units of measure used by custom or statute. To meet the objective of worldwide standardized measurement practices, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the British Standards Institute (BSI) have also been closely involved nationally, resulting in the acceptance of the revised tables as an American National Standard and as a British Standard. In addition, in their respective capacities as Secretariat of the International Organization for Standardization TC/28 and of TC/28 SC3, ANSI and BSI have been instrumental in progressing the revised tables towards their adoption as an international standard by the International Organization for Standardization.

Historical Notes

The present collection supersedes all previous editions of the petroleum measurement Tables ANSI/ASTM D1250, IP200, and API Standard 2540. Action is being taken in ISO/TC 28 for the corresponding tables listed in ISO R91 and the tables in the addendum to R91 to be superseded by the present revised collection.
