4. Temperature Correction Rules

Liquid density decreases predictably as fluid temperature increases due to volumetric thermal expansion.

Density(T) = Initial Density ÷ (1 + Expansion Coefficient × ΔT)

Where thermal expansion coefficient is ~0.00095 per °C for petroleum fuels, and ~0.00021 per °C for water. Always verify temperature conditions when calculating high-precision mass transfers.
