How is the density type defined, that we set in a conversion group?

Within the oil industry, three different “density types” for liquid bulk products are commonly in use:

• Absolute density – definition see separate FAQ
• Relative density – definition see separate FAQ
• API gravity – °API – definition see separate FAQ

Density values can be expressed in any of these three density types and are related via well-defined formulas. SAP QCI conversion groups require data entry of a density value in the density type as defined in the conversion group; MQCI conversion groups can be configured to allow data entry of density values of any of the three density types.
