Methodology

Vegetable Oil density and calculation basis

Evidence status: needs-review.

Vegetable oil density depends on the oil or blend and temperature.

composition: Separate named oils; no runtime blend identified

Source basis: FAO / Codex Alimentarius, Codex standards for fats and oils: archived compilation. Separate specifications for named vegetable oils. https://www.fao.org/4/y2774e/y2774e04.htm Applicability: context-only.

Identify oil composition and its reference 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 0.00383889 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.
