• Key Concepts: 
  Base density is a term used in the IS-OIL-DS-HPM Hydrocarbon Product Management component of SAP. It is a measure of the mass of a unit volume of a liquid hydrocarbon product at a given temperature and pressure. It is used to calculate the volume of a product at a given temperature and pressure. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Base density is used to calculate the volume of a liquid hydrocarbon product at a given temperature and pressure. This calculation is done by multiplying the base density by the mass of the product. The result is the volume of the product at the given temperature and pressure. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When calculating the volume of a liquid hydrocarbon product, it is important to ensure that the temperature and pressure are consistent with those used to calculate the base density. This will ensure that the calculation is accurate. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Base density is related to other measures such as specific gravity, which is a measure of the relative density of a liquid hydrocarbon product compared to water. It can also be used in conjunction with other measures such as viscosity and flash point to determine the properties of a liquid hydrocarbon product.
