Oil Conversion Factors

The refined products made from crude oil, are normally measured either by volume in gallons and US barrels, or by weight in tons or tonnes.

The relationship between volume and weight is usually measured by density (the alternative measure is relative density or specific gravity).

USA usually calculate quantities of oil produced, moved or processed in barrels per day (bpd or b/d).

CST = Centi-Stoke
M. = Metric
A = American
E. = English
