Can we calculate our crude oil and products weights via Table 13M (Chile)?

Yes.
In Chile, a modified ASTM D1250-80 Table 13, called Table 13M, is in use within the oil industry.

At a base temperature of 60°F, for a given API gravity at 60 °F (density in vacuo) – in the range 0 to 85 °API, the table provides the density in air in kg/L (kg/dm³) for weight calculations. This table 13M is part of the QuantityWare BCP delivery:

With note 000115, a GCD (Generic Customer Development) is made available to fulfill the requirement, such that for crude oil and products, the API gravity is entered (ASTM D1250-80) and the corresponfing density in air is determined via table 13M . Table 13M defines the absolute density in kg/L (kg/dm³) at 60 °F for API gravity (in vacuo) between 0 and 85 °API.
This GCD delivers a PDF document, which contains all configuration steps for two MQCI conversion groups, that utilize Table 13M for weight calculations.

QuantityWare Certified Consultants (QWCC) have access to this GCD via the Support Portal.
