Description
Relative Density (T, P) --> Relative Density (60°F, 0 psig)
This function converts a relative density value at the observed temperature and pressure to the relative
density value at 60°F and 0 psig.
The temperature and pressure correction is according to API MPMS 11.1:2004.
An iterative calculation needs to be applied to convert the observed relative density to the value at
base conditions.
Note: As opposed to API-2540, the 2004 standard does not include a correction for readings taken from
a hydrometer and assumes that the equilibrium pressure is below atmospheric pressure, so taking 0
psig as the base pressure.
