In thermodynamics, the Volume Correction Factor (VCF), also known as Correction for the effect of Temperature on Liquid (CTL), is a standardized computed factor used to correct for the thermal expansion of fluids, primarily, liquid hydrocarbons at various temperatures and densities. [1]

VCF values are rounded to 5 unit (s) of precision. Density values must be entered using 1 unit (s) of precision. Temperature values must be entered using 2 unit (s) of precision. Enter 0 bar for pressure when using static measurement. Otherwise, …

Traditionally, CTL/VCF values are found in books/tables provided by the American Petroleum Institute, matching the temperature and density to find the CTL/VCF values. Such methods are often time-consuming and tedious. The calculator below omits the tables and computes the required values for you.

To obtain the net volume of liquid at 15 °C, multiply the uncompensated meter reading by the volume correction factor which corresponds to the average measured temperature of the liquid during the delivery.

Sep 23, 2018 · ASTM tables give the Volume correction factors (VCF) to find the volumes at temperature for which the density is given. Let us say cargo surveyor provided the density at 15 deg C as 0.816 and ASTM table 54B to be used.

The Volume Correction Factor (VCF) is the factor depending on the oil type, density or its equivalent and temperature which corrects oil volumes to the Standard Reference Temperature (s). (ASTM Tables 54 A, B, C, D or 6 A, B)

This document provides a formula and coefficients to calculate a volume correction factor (VCF) to adjust the volume of a substance to a standard temperature of 15°C based on its density at 15°C and observed temperature.

Connect your Pocket PC to your computer (ActiveSync program “setup.exe” and follow the instructions on the screen. Select the list item you need and press the “Start” button. If you have selected on of the first six list items you will see a new screen which caption shows the used table.

Feb 1, 2022 · In order to translate the Observed Volume into the Standard Volume, the Volume Correction Factor (VCF.) is used, which can be found in ASTM tables. Then, the obtained value of Standard Volume is multiplied by the product’s density, which yields the product’s mass.
