INTRODUCTION
With the recent emphasis on reformulated gasolines, there is an
increasing demand to use methyl
tert-butyl ether (MTBE) as a blending agent for reformulated
gasolines. The accurate transfer of
MTBE requires that the volume being transferred be temperature
compensated back to customary
reference conditions. Within the United States, those conditions are
60°F and the maximum of
saturation pressure or atmospheric pressure. Most other countries have
reference conditions of
15°C and the maximum of saturation pressure or atmospheric
pressure.
PURPOSE
The purpose of this addendum is to provide the users of the API Manual
of Petroleum Measurement
Standards Chapter 11.1, "Volume Correction Factors," Volume III (Table
6C) and Volume IX (Table
54C), "Individual and Specialized Applications," with revised volume
correction factor tables for
methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE). These tables are used for calculating
the volume of mixtures
composed predominantly of MTBE at standard conditions from volumes at
other conditions. These
tables apply to commercially available mixtures containing at least 85
weight percent MTBE.
