1 Scope 1.1 General This standard covers density and volume correction factors for pure and denatured fuel ethanol. The actual standard consists of the explicit implementation procedures set forth in this document. Sample tables and other examples created from a computerized version of this implementation procedure are presented as examples only and do not represent the standard. 1.2 Limits of Application This standard is applicable at any liquid operating temperature to bulk (e.g. tank trucks, tank cargos, barges) pure (99+ %) ethanol and denatured ethanol containing ASTM D4806 [1] allowed denaturants (natural gasoline, gasoline blend stocks, and unleaded gasoline) in the 2 % to 5 % by volume range. 2 Normative References The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

NOTE Density as so defined is sometimes referred to as “true density” or as “density in vacuo” or often just plain “density.” When reporting density, the units of mass and volume used and the temperature of the determination have to be stated (e.g. kilograms per cubic meter or grams per millimeter at t °F or ( t °C). For the oil industry, if the temperature is unstated, standard temperature (60 °F or 15 °C) should be assumed.
3.4 ethanol Ethyl alcohol, the chemical C 2 H 5 OH. 3.5 fuel ethanol A grade of undenatured ethanol with other components common to its production (including water) that do not affect the use of the product as a component for automotive spark ignition engine fuels. 3.6 gasoline A volatile mixture of liquid hydrocarbons, generally containing small amounts of additives, suitable for use as a fuel in spark-ignition internal combustion engines. 3.7 gross observed volume GOV The total volume of all liquid and sediment and water, excluding free water, at observed temperature and pressure. 3.8 gross standard volume GSV The total volume of liquid and sediment and water, excluding free water, corrected by the appropriate volume correction factor (VCF) for the observed temperature to a standard reference temperature (generally 60 °F or 15 °C). NOTE If there is no sediment and water, GSV is the same as net standard volume (NSV). 3.9 natural gasoline A natural gas liquid with a vapor pressure intermediate between condensate and liquefied petroleum gas. NOTE This liquid hydrocarbon mixture is recovered at normal pressure and temperature and is much more volatile and unstable than commercial gasoline. 3.10 net standard volume NSV The total volume of liquid, excluding sediment and water and free water, corrected by the appropriate VCF for the observed temperature to a standard reference temperature (generally 60 °F or 15 °C). NOTE If there is no sediment and water, GSV is the same as NSV. 3.11 pure ethanol For the purposes of this standard, ethanol that is ≥ 99.0 % pure shall be considered pure.
3.12 volume correction factor VCF A factor that corrects the volume of a liquid at observed temperature and base pressure to its volume at standard reference temperature (generally 60 °F or 15 °C at 0 psig). A VCF is the dimensionless ratio of a product’s density at a given temperature divided by its density at standard reference temperature (D t /D 60 ) or its net standard volume divided by its gross observed volume (NSV/GOV). Also referred to as CTL (Correction for Temperature of a Liquid) in dynamic measurement.
