Abstract: The Petroleum Measurement Tables document the volume correction factors (VCF) which correct the effect of thermal expansion and compressibility on hydrocarbon liquids. This paper gives insight into the format of the 1980 revision to the tables which transformed the tables from hard copy format to an algorithm and implementation procedure format. The Petroleum Measurement Tables are designated as API MPMS Chapter 11, ASTM D1250, and IP 200. Details are provided on the various updates and revisions to the tables which include the integration of compressibility and thermal expansion correction into one process, the use floating point math over integer math techniques, the expansion of the tables limits to higher density and lower temperature ranges, and the introduction of a new temperature base (20o C), are discussed. Finally, the paper discusses future considerations in the publication of the tables. Possible formats and mediums are presented.
