Volume correction factor - Wikipedia
In thermodynamics, the Volume Correction Factor (VCF), also known as Correction for the effect of Temperature on Liquid (CTL), is a standardized computed factor used to correct for the thermal expansion of fluids, primarily, liquid hydrocarbons at various temperatures and densities. [1]
Volume correction factors—diesel, bio-diesel and diesel blends
Density at 15 °C = 840 kg/m 3 (table 54B) Refer to bulletin V-18 for more information on product classes. Volume correction factors to 15 °C for use with all grades of diesel, bio-diesel and diesel blends (including B100)

Enter the density (API Gravity, Relative Density or Density) at standard temperature (60°F or 15°C) and the temperature (°F or °C) into the according input fields. After pressing the “Calculate” button the input parameters are rounded according to ASTM 1250 and the Volume Correction Factor is shown.
