    The American Petroleum Institute (API) gravity is a measurement of how heavy or light petroleum liquid is compared to water, with higher API gravity degrees indicating lighter liquids that float on water and lower degrees indicating heavier liquids that sink. API gravity inversely measures the relative density of petroleum liquids versus water and is used to compare densities between petroleum liquids, with less dense liquids having a higher API gravity. API gravity is measured in degrees using a hydrometer instrument, with most petroleum liquids falling between 10 and 70 degrees on the scale.

    The American Petroleum Institute gravity, or API gravity, is a measure of how heavy or light a petroleum liquid is compared to water.

    If its API gravity is greater than 10, it is lighter and floats on water; if less than 10, it is heavier and sinks. API gravity is thus an inverse measure of the relative density of a petroleum liquid and the density of water, but it is used to compare the relative densities of petroleum liquids. For example, if one petroleum liquid floats on another and is therefore less dense, it has a greater API gravity. Although mathematically, API gravity has no units (see the formula below), it is nevertheless referred to as being in "degrees". API gravity is graduated in degrees on a hydrometer instrument. The API scale was designed so that most values would fall between 10 and 70 API gravity degrees
