DENSITY ()

DENSITY () is defined as mass per unit volume

Example:

The mass density of FW(Fresh Water) = 1000 kg/m³ or

1.000 tonne/m³

The mass density of SW(Salt Water) = 1025 kg/m³ or

1.025 tonne/m³

 THE SPECIFIC GRAVITY(SG) OR RELATIVE DENSITY
(RD)

THE SPECIFIC GRAVITY (SG) or RELATIVE DENSITY (RD) OF A

SUBSTANCE is defined as the ratio of the weight of the substance to
the weight of an equal volume of fresh water

Density of the substance

SG or relative density of a substance = -----------------------------------
Density of Fresh Water

The density of Fresh Water = 1000 kg/m³

Density of the substance in kg/m³

SG of a substance = ---------------------------------------------
1000 kg/m³

Density of the substance in kg/m³ = SG of a substance x 1000 kg/m³

Hitunglah relative density air laut dengan density () = 1025 kg/m³

Penyelesaian:

Density air laut in kg/m³

Relative density (RD) air laut = --------------------------------
Density of FW in kg/m³

1025 kg/m³
Relative density (RD) air laut = ----------------
1000 kg/m³

 RD atau SG air laut = 1.025

 CONTOH SOAL NO.2

Hitunglah density () minyak dengan SG minyak = 0.92

Penyelesaian:

Density minyak in kg/m³ = Density FW in kg/m³ x SG minyak

Density minyak in kg/m³ = 1000 kg/m³ x 0.92

 Density minyak = 920 kg/m³

 CONTOH SOAL NO.3

Sebuah Double bottom tank berkapasitas 120 ton jika diisi air
tawar. Hitunglah jumlah minyak yang dapat ditampung tangki tsb.
jika SG (Relative density) minyak = 0.84

Penyelesaian:

Mass of Oil
Relative density = ---------------
Mass of FW

Mass of FW x Relative density = Mass of Oil

120 ton x 0.84 = Mass of Oil
 Jumlah minyak yang dapat ditampung tangki tsb. = 100.8 ton.

 CONTOH SOAL NO.4

Sebuah tangki berukuran 20 m x 24 m x 10.5 m berisi minyak (SG= 0.84).

Hitung berat minyak dalam tanki tsb,jika ullage = 2.5 m.
Catatan:
 An Ullage is the distance from the surface of the liquid in the tank to the top
of the tank
 A sounding is the distance from the surface of the liquid to the base of the
tank or sounding pad.

Penyelesaian:
Volume minyak = Panjang x Lebar x Dalam
= 20 m x 24 m x (10.5 – 2.5) m
Density minyak = SG minyak x Density FW
= 0.84 x 1000 kg/m³ = 840 kg/m³ = 0.84 ton/m³
Berat minyak = Volume minyak x Density minyak
= 24 m x 20 m x 8 m x 0.84 ton/m³

 Berat minyak dalam tangki = 3225.6 ton
