Abstract: Weve learned when measuring crude oil or any hydrocarbo n that liquids expand and contract with increases and decreases in temperature. The liquid volume also decrease s when pressure is applied. All these effects are part of the physical properties of liquid petroleum fluids. In addition to the effects of te mperature and pressure on the liquid and their indicated volume, the container in whic h the liquid is measured also changes the volume it contains at different temperature and pressures. These changes must also be accounted for in determining the true volume being transferred. We learned in Fundam entals of Liquid Measurement I how these physical properties effect the measurement of liquid hydrocarbons. The objective of either static measurement or dynamic measurements is to determine the quantity and qualit y of hydrocarbons transferred. However these measurements are rarely performed at the standard condi tions discussed in Fundamentals I, therefore not only must temperature be measured, but also density, sedim ent and water, vapor pressure, flowing pressure and viscosity must be measured
