What is fixed density in SAP IS-OIL-DS-HPM - Hydrocarbon Product Management?

SAP Term: fixed density

• Component: IS-OIL-DS-HPM

• Component Name: Hydrocarbon Product Management

• Description: Basic density for chemicals. Densities for chemicals are always defined for the substance at standard temperature. A change in the fixed density corresponds to a change in the material.

• Key Concepts: 
  Fixed density is a concept used in the IS-OIL-DS-HPM Hydrocarbon Product Management component of SAP. It is a measure of the mass of a substance per unit volume, and is used to calculate the volume of a product based on its mass. This is especially useful for measuring the volume of liquids, such as oil and gas. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Fixed density can be used to calculate the volume of a product based on its mass. This is done by multiplying the mass of the product by its fixed density. For example, if the mass of a product is 10 kg and its fixed density is 0.8 kg/L, then its volume would be 12.5 L (10 kg x 0.8 kg/L = 12.5 L). 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When calculating the volume of a product using fixed density, it is important to make sure that the units for both the mass and fixed density are consistent. For example, if the mass is given in kilograms, then the fixed density should also be given in kilograms per liter (kg/L). 
  
  Related Information: 
  Fixed density can also be used to calculate the mass of a product based on its volume. This is done by dividing the volume of the product by its fixed density. For example, if the volume of a product is 12.5 L and its fixed density is 0.8 kg/L, then its mass would be 10 kg (12.5 L / 0.8 kg/L = 10 kg).
