ASTM D4052

Standard Test Method for Density, Relative Density, and API Gravity of Liquids by Digital Density Meter

Applicability: ASTM D4052 is a standard test method for determining the density, relative density, and API gravity of liquids, particularly petroleum products, using a digital density meter. It is applicable to a wide range of liquids, including gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, lubricating oils, and waxes, provided they are liquid at the test temperature and meet certain viscosity and vapor pressure limitations.

Purpose: The core purpose of ASTM D4052 is to provide a standardized procedure for measuring the density of liquids using a digital density meter.
