<strong>Physical</strong> properties <strong>of</strong> <strong>Oil</strong> API Gravity (American Petroleum Institute) Pure Water has arbitrary API Gravity <strong>of</strong> 10 Light crudes are generally those with an APIgravity over 40. Gasoline ~ 60. Those with an API gravity below 40 areregarded as heavy There is an inverse relationship between APIgravity <strong>and</strong> density; the higher the densitythe lower the API gravity. 15 th Annual OSC Readiness Training Program www.oscreadiness.org 5
