APPROXIMATE WEIGHT OF PETROLEUM AND PRODUCTS
In the United States petroleum and its products are measured by bulk, not
•weight. Whether handled in containers or without them the quantities are customarily reduced to the equivalent of barrels of 42 United States gallons (barrel
thus equals 158.984 liters). In many foreign countries these commodities are
measured by weight. The specific gravity of the different grades of crude petroleum and of thefinishedproducts varies materially. On the basis of approximate
averages the Department of Commerce in converting foreign weight statistics
to gallons or barrels of 42 gallons uses the factors shown in the following table:
