API, OpenAPI and WebMCP documentation

Explanation

Diesel-fuel mass depends on density, and density changes with formulation and temperature. This calculator uses a representative value of 832 kg/m³ so every result is reproducible; custody-transfer work should use the measured density at the stated reference temperature.

Multiply liters by 0.000832 to obtain metric tons using the fixed 832 kg/m³ density basis.

Reference & Scope

The 832 kg/m³ value is a representative planning basis, not a batch certificate or temperature-corrected custody-transfer density.

Diesel Fuel density and calculation basis

Evidence status: publishable.

Representative diesel density at 15 °C; the cited range applies to Futura DI-15/-25.

temperature: 15 °C

grade: Neste Futura Diesel DI-15/-25

method: EN ISO 12185 / 3675

Source basis: Neste, Futura Diesel -15/-25, DI-15/-25, TDS 2023-01-01. TDS 2023-01-01, density at 15 °C. https://www.neste.com/files/pdf/a77U5pQjbIyisUyXWHdAY-150312_en.pdf Applicability: adopted-context.

For this direction, mass is calculated as volume multiplied by density after normalizing the units to cubic meters and kilograms. The resulting page multiplier is 0.000832 t per L.

Use a measured density for a specific batch, grade or supplier; the table value is a reference, not a product specification.
