How do you calculate diesel density?
Use the calculator to divide the fluid weight, found in Step 3, by the volume from Step 2. For example, if you poured 16 ml of fluid in the cylinder, you will use 16 ml. If the total weight of the fluid is 16 grams, the calculation would be 16 g / 16 ml. This would give you a density of 1 g/ml.
What is the density of diesel in g ml?
0.8375 g/mL
Certified Reference Material Density Standard, Diesel (nominal value 0.8375 g/mL @ 15 °C)
Which has higher density petrol or diesel?
Diesel and petrol engines The calorific value of diesel fuel is roughly 45.5 MJ/kg (megajoules per kilogram), slightly lower than petrol which is 45.8 MJ/kg. However, diesel fuel is denser than petrol and contains about 15\% more energy by volume (roughly 36.9 MJ/litre compared to 33.7 MJ/litre).
What is the weight of 1 liter diesel?
The density of Diesel is 0.85 g/cc so if we do the math, the weight of 1 litre of Diesel will be approx 850 grams. According to Wiki, the density of petroleum diesel is about 0.832 kg/L. A litre of this therefore has a mass of 0.832kg.
How do you find fuel density?
Subtract the mass of the cylinder from the mass of the cylinder when it contains gasoline. This is the mass of the gasoline. Divide this figure by the volume, 100 ml, to get the density.
What does 1 cubic foot of diesel weigh?
One cubic foot of salt water weighs 64 lbs. One gallon of gasoline weighs 6.2 lbs. One gallon of Diesel fuel weighs 7.1 lbs. One cubic foot of volume contains 7.48 gallons.
