INTRODUCTION
This guide, ASTM D1250, provides information related to the algorithm and implementation
procedure for the correction of temperature and pressure effects on density and volume of liquid
hydrocarbons as outlined in API MPMS Chapter 11.1, Physical Properties Data—Temperature and
Pressure Volume Correction Factors for Generalized Crude Oils, Refined Products, and Lubricating
Oils. The algorithms and implementation procedure are published in an adjunct (supplementary)
product called the Adjunct for Volume Correction Factors (VCF).
ASTM D1250 is not theAPI standard and all instructions, procedures, and examples for calculating
volume correction factors for generalized crude oils, refined products, and lubrication oils are found
in the standard, API MPMS Chapter 11.1-2004, Addendum 1{2007, and Addendum 2{2019.
The volume correction factors, in their basic form, are the output of a set of equations derived from,
and based on, empirical data relating to the volumetric change of hydrocarbons over a range of
temperatures and pressures. Prior to 2004, the factors were listed in tabular format called ASTM
D1250, Petroleum Measurement Tables and published as anAPI Standard Chapter 11.1/Adjunct to IP
200/Adjunct to ASTM D1250. However, the current standard, API MPMS Chapter 11.1{2004,
Addendum 1{2007, and Addendum 2{2019 replaced the previous printed tables.
This current Adjunct for VCF establishes a set of implementation procedures for crude oils, liquid
refined products, and lubricating oils, by which volume measurements taken at any temperature and
pressure (within the range of the standard) can be corrected to an equivalent volume at base/standard
conditions, normally 15 °C, 60 °F, or 20 °C, by use of a volume correction factor (VCF). TheAdjunct
for VCF also provides methods for making conversions to alternate conditions from base condition
and to alternate base temperatures. Densities can be corrected by using the inverse of the VCF.
USAGE GUIDELINES
The current Adjunct for VCF is effective upon the date of publication and supersedes the previous
edition of the standard/adjunct(s). Once the current year version of the standard(s) and adjunct are
implemented in a particular application, the previous versions should no longer be used in that
application. However, the use of the standard(s) and adjunct remains voluntary, and the decision on
when to utilize a standard is an issue that is subject to the negotiations between the parties involved
in the transaction.

2019 UPDATE
Some minor modifications to the API MPMS Chapter 11.1-2004/Adjunct to IP 200/04/Adjunct to
ASTM D1250–04Addendum 1-2007 have been issued asAddendum 2-2019. These modifications to
the adjunct necessitated a realignment with ASTM Standard Guide D1250, hence a –19 version has
been approved and published.
This guide is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee D02 on Petroleum Products, Liquid Fuels, and Lubricants and theAPI Committee on Petroleum Measurement,
and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D02.02 /COMQ the joint ASTM-API Committee on Hydrocarbon Measurement for Custody Transfer (Joint ASTM-API).
This guide has been approved by the sponsoring committees and was accepted by the Cooperating Societies in accordance with established procedures.
Current edition approved May 1, 2019. Published September 2019. Originally approved in 1952, replacing former D206 and D1090. Last previous edition approved in
