From Bulk Stock Management Setup (G415041), choose ASTM D4311 Table
If your depot holds asphalt and bitumen products or other products that require heated tanks, you must use specific temperature and density tables to perform volume conversions.
The system is set up with two versions of the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) D4311 table, one using a standard temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit and one using a standard temperature of 15 degrees Celsius. You specify in a processing option which version to use as the system default table. You can review or make adjustments to these tables to accommodate your specific needs.
