API Gravity: An arbitrary scale expressing the gravity or
density of liquid petroleum products. The measuring
scale is calibrated in terms of degrees API; it may be
calculated in terms of the following formula:


A specific gravity scale developed by the American Petroleum Institute (API) for measuring the relative density of various petroleum liquids, expressed in degrees. API gravity is gradated in degrees on a hydrometer instrument
The API gravity is an arbitrary scale developed by the American Petroleum Institute(API) as a measure of the density of petroleum liquids relative to the density of water. The values of API gravity are expressed as degrees API (° API).
 
The universally accepted scale adopted by the American Petroleum Institute (API) for expressing the density of liquid petroleum products.
