measure of how light a petroleum liquid is compared to water.

API (American Petroleum Institute) gravity is an arbitrary measurement of the relative density of petroleum liquids. There is an inverse relationship between API gravity and density: the lower the API gravity the higher the density of the liquid. API gravity has no units but is often referred to as being in degrees. It serves as an approximate meas [..]

An industry standard developed by the American Petroleum Institute used for calculation of the specific gravity of a product at 60 ° F which then can further be used to calculate cargo quantity.

American Petroleum Institute (API) gravity is a measure of how heavy or light a petroleum liquid is compared to water. If its API gravity is greater than 10, it is lighter and floats on water; if less than 10, it is heavier and sinks. It is used to compare the relative densities of petroleum liquids.

The American Petroleum Institute scale used to express the specific gravity of oils. The higher the API gravity, the lighter the crude (i.e. the higher the proportion of lighter fractions the oil contains). It is calculated as follows: °API = 141.5/(Specific Gravity at 60°F) - 131.5. For example, crudes with an API gravity of less than 20° are cons [..]

a gravity scale established by the American Petroleum Institute and in general use in the petroleum industry, the unit being called “the API degree”, which is represented by the equation:API gravity, deg = (141.5/specific gravity at 60/60ºF)-131.5

A specific density scale developed by the American Petroleum Institute (API) for measuring the density of petroleum. Liquid oil having 28° API or higher is generally known as light-weight crude.
