4 ASTM Tables
In 1980, the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
together with the London Institute of Petroleum (IP) and the
American Petroleum Institute (API), introduced the new API/ASTM-
IP Petroleum Measurement Tables (further ASTM tables).
Presently the set of ASTM tables consists of 14 volumes however
only a few tables are required for onboard cargo calculations. The
following is the list of ASTM volumes (with description of required
tables) each vessel should carry on board:
For tankers carrying Crude Oils: （Volume I-VII-XI-XII） 1-7-
11-12
Volume I (tables 5A and 6A)
Table 6A to be used for Crude Oils correction of volume to 60ºF
against API Gravity at 60ºF. (American Measurement
System).
Volume VII (Tables 53A and 54A)
Table 54A to be used for Crude Oils Correction of volume to
15ºC against Density at 15ºC (Metric Measurement
System).
Volume XI/XII (tables 1-4, 8-14 and 21, 22, 26-31, 34, 51, 52,
56-58).
Tables for conversion between various Volume and Density
Measures.
For tankers carrying Petroleum Products: （ Volume II-VIII-XI-
XII）
Volume II (Tables 5B and 6B).
Table 6B to be used for petroleum Products correction of
volume to 60ºF against API Gravity at 60ºF. (American
Measurement System).
Volume VIII (Tables 53B and 54B)
Table 54B to be used for Petroleum Products correction of
volume to 15ºC against Density at 15ºC. (Metric
Measurement System).
Volume XI/XII (Tables 1-4, 8-14 and 21, 22, 26-31, 33, 34, 51,
52, 56-58).
Tables for conversion between various Volume and Density
Measures.
These sets of books together with ship’s Ullage Tables or Sounding
tables provide everything required for calculating the quantities of
oil cargoes on board the vessel.
