Volume correction factor (VCF)

Folosit n special la produse petroliere. Se refer la corecia volumului observat la volumul

standard(fizic)
La temperatura de referina, de obicei 15 grade in vacuum, se aplica VCF.
Pentru corectarea densitii la temperatura observata:
1. Se inmulteste densitatea de referinta cu VCF la temperature observata
Exemplu:
Benzene: d @ 15 grade = 0.884 in vacuum
VCF la 18 grade = 0.9665 in vacuum
D @ 18 grade = 0.884 x 0.9665 = 0.8809 in vacuum sau 0.8798 in aer.
Pentru corectare din vacuum in aer( liter weight) se scade valoarea 0.0011

Sau:
2. Se aplica formula :
Temperature corrected Density = (Density @ 15 degree Celsius) * [1- {(T-15) *
correction factor}]
Where:
T = observed temperature
Correction factor = Diferenta intre valorile VCF a doua grade consecutive

Exemplu :
Benzene: d @ 15 grade = 0.884 in vacuum

In tabela VCF avem :

Temp
@16

VCF

0.9988

@17

0.9976

@18

0.9965

Difernta intre doua grade successive este 0.0012. Deci :

d @ 18 grade = (0.884) x { 1 [18-15] x 0.0012}
d @ 18 grade = 0.884 x (1 0.0036 )
d @ 18 grade = 0.884 x 0.9965
d @ 18 grade = 0.8809
