Methodology
Seawater density and calculation basis
Evidence status: needs-review.
Seawater density depends on salinity, temperature and pressure.
method: Density calculated from temperature, salinity and in-situ pressure
Source basis: NOAA NCEI, World Ocean Atlas 2013 v2: density calculation. Density values calculation. https://www.nodc.noaa.gov/OC5/woa13/woa-info.html Applicability: context-only.
Select and document the adopted seawater conditions.
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 0.00427702 ton (US) per gal (US).
Use a measured density for a specific batch, grade or supplier; the table value is a reference, not a product specification.
