Chapter 11Physical Properties Data (Volume Correction Factors)

The subroutines for all the volumes of Chapter 11.1, except Volumes XI/XII, are now available in magnetic tape or electronic form through API.These standards are not included in the complete set of measurementstandards. Each element of Chapter 11 must be ordered separately.Chapter 11 is the physical data that has direct application to volumetricmeasurement of liquid hydrocarbons. It is presented in tabular form, inequations relating volume to temperature and pressure, computer sub-routines, and magnetic tape or electronic diskette.

Chapter 11.1—2004This Standard (Revised Standard) is effective on the date of publicationand supersedes the previous edition of the Standard(s) (Previous Stan-dard(s)) referenced in Appendix A of this Revised Standard. However,due to the nature of the changes in this Revised Standard, it is recog-nized that guidance concerning an implementation period may beneeded in order to avoid disruptions within the industry and ensureproper application. As a result, it is recommended that this RevisedStandard be utilized on all new applications no later than TWO YEARSafter the publication date. An application for this purpose is defined asthe point where the calculation is applied.

Once the Revised Standard is implemented in a particular application,the Previous Standard will no longer be used in that application.

If an existing application complies with the Previous Standard(s) thenit shall be considered in compliance with this Revised Standard.

However, the use of API standards remains voluntary and the decisionon when to utilize a standard is an issue that is subject to the negotia-tions between the parties involved in the transaction.See the listing for “Chapter 11.1—1980” on page 145 of this Catalog

for more information on the previous edition of the Standard(s),

Chapter 17.5Guidelines for Cargo Analysis and Reconciliation

Covers guidelines for marine cargo analysis and reconciliation. Theseguidelines are intended to provide a basis for analyzing and reconcilingthe quantity differences (gains/losses) resulting from marine custody transfer movement(s) of petroleum and petroleum product cargoes. Assuch, the guidelines are complementary to, but do not replace, normalinspection procedures.

The shipment of petroleum or petroleum products by marine vesselsoften results in a difference between the load port (Bill of Lading) anddischarge port (Outturn) quantities. The objective of cargo analysis and

reconciliation is to determine if a marine petroleum shipment results inexcessive gain or loss, and if so, to identify the reason(s) for volume dif-ferences in an effort to correct petroleum measurement problems.

Publ 2524Impact Assessment of New Data on the Validity of American Petroleum

Institute Marine Transfer Operation Emission Factors

Consultant CH2M Hill confirmed the validity of the model used in2514A by comparing emission test data with predictive emission mod-els developed by API, ARCO, and Exxon. The study found that the APImodel adequately predicts emissions for tanks ranging in size from17,000 to 35,000 dead weight tons and for tanks being loaded within

the lower-48 states. The model does not appear to apply to crude oilloading of tankers in Valdez, Alaska, because of unique local operatingconditions. However, no known test data invalidates the model for pre-dicting crude oil loading emissions from carriers smaller than very large crude carriers in the lower 48 states. Pages: 194
