Bunker - Density Temperature Correction
Convert observed bunker-fuel density @ T_obs to density @ 15 °C using ASTM D4311 - the standard bunker survey adjustment.
Density @ 15 °C
970.83kg/m³
Formula, assumptions, and limits
Iterate or use ASTM D1250 Table 54B reverse lookup. Bunker stems almost always measured at elevated temperature - density correction essential for accurate mass.
