Current through June, 2024
As used in this chapter: "Actual density" or "relative
				  density" means the observed density or observed relative density, respectively,
				  determined at a product temperature of sixty degrees Fahrenheit or which has
				  been corrected to sixty degrees Fahrenheit, and is expressed by the
				  relationship: relative density sixty/sixty degrees Fahrenheit equal one hundred
				  and forty-one and five tenths divided by the quantity API gravity at sixty
				  degrees minus one hundred and thirty-one and five tenths (Relative density
				  60/60°F = 1415);
"Administrator" means the administering officer of the
				  quality assurance division or any qualified person so designated by the
				  chairperson of the board of agriculture;
"After-market additive" means a commodity marketed for
				  addition, by the consumer or a person other than Require the manufacturer, to a
				  liquid petroleum product for purposes of enhancing the characteristics of the
				  liquid petroleum product or its performance, as in an internal combustion
				  engine;
"API" means American Petroleum Institute;
"API gravity" means the relationship expressed by degrees API
				  equal one hundred and forty-one and five tenths divided by relative density as
				  sixty/sixty degrees Fahrenheit, minus one hundred thirty-one and five tenths,
				  and is abbreviated °API. ("API = Relative Density 60/60°F -
				  131.5);
"ASTM" means American Society for Testing and Materials
				  International;
"Base-gasoline" means the gasoline component of a
				  gasoline-ethanol blend;
"Degrees API" means API gravity, which is a special density
				  scale adopted in 1921 by the national bureau of standards in lieu of the Baume
				  scale;
"Density" means the mass per unit volume;
"Ethanol" means nominally anhydrous ethyl alcohol meeting
				  ASTM D4806. Ethanol is intended to be used as a gasoline blend component for
				  use as a fuel in a spark-ignition internal combustion engine. The denatured
				  fuel ethanol is first made unfit for drinking by the addition of a substance
				  approved by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (ATTB) prior to
				  blending with gasoline;
"Gasoline" means a volatile mixture of liquid hydrocarbons,
				  generally containing small amounts of additives, suitable for use as a fuel in
				  spark-ignition, internal combustion engines, and which may contain
				  ethanol;
"Gravity" means API gravity;
"Inspector: means an employee of official of the department
				  of agriculture authorized to administer and enforce this chapter;
"LPG" means liquefied petroleum gas in the liquid
				  state;
"Market" or "marketing" means the activities and actions
				  leading to the sale or potential sale of a commodity. It includes all aspects
				  of trade and commerce, labeling, merchandising, mercantiling, and selling the
				  net measure of a commodity;
"Observed density" or "observed relative density" means the
				  value observed on the scale of a hydrometer when the scale indication is read
				  at the point where the principal surface of the liquid would intercept the stem
				  of the immersed hydrometer if there were no meniscus, the principal surface
				  being read as a flat plane rather than an ellipse. It is an incorrect
				  indication of the density of the product unless the liquid temperature is, or
				  is corrected to, sixty degrees Fahrenheit. (See "actual density");
"Petroleum Measurement Tables" means the following tables,
				  ASTM D1250-08(2013)el, Standard Guide for Petroleum Measurement Tables as
				  published by the ASTM October 2015:
API Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standards (MPMS) Chapter
				  11.1-2004 Temperature and Pressure

				  Products, and Lubricating Oils (Including Addendum 1-2007); or

				  petroleum measurement tables D1250-08, as published by the ASTM in the eleventh
				  edition, August 2007;

				  and U. S. gallons at sixty degrees Fahrenheit;
"Petroleum product" means automotive gasoline, diesel fuels,
				  fuel oils, liquefied petroleum gas both liquid and vapor, residuals,
				  distillates and fractions, kerosene, aviation fuels, turbine fuels, solvent,
				  hydrocarbons or synthetics, crude oil, lubricating oil, or any other oil or
				  distillate or blends of the above, or any other product that may normally be
				  considered a petroleum product, and synthetic natural gas or natural gas and
				  manufactured gas or blends thereof;
"Relative Density 60/60°F" means the ratio of the weight
				  of a given volume of oil at sixty degrees Fahrenheit to the weight of the same
				  volume of water at sixty degrees Fahrenheit, both weights being corrected for
				  the buoyancy of air;
"SAE" means the Society of Automotive Engineers
				  International, or SAE International;
"Sealed" or "in seal" means a measurement standard, licensed
				  for current use, which has been approved as to type by the administrator, and
				  tested by the administrator, inspector, or a registered service person for
				  correctness and found to be in compliance and to which has been affixed a seal
				  attesting to such correctness and compliance. A device, which has been
				  relocated or exchanged subsequent to sealing and which by design is not
				  considered portable shall, when any such action is undertaken, lose its
				  seal;
"Sixty/sixty °F" is a dimensionless number, expressing
				  the ratio of the weight of a specific volume of petroleum product, the
				  temperature of which is sixty degrees Fahrenheit, to the exact same volume of
				  water, the temperature of which is sixty degrees Fahrenheit. It is abbreviated
				  60/60°F; and
"Viscosity" is a measure of the resistance of a fluid to
				  flow.
