Hello there again!
Can anyone explain to me the provision of ASTM Table 52, particularly
the conversion factor of 6.294 and 6.293?
Is the factor of 6.294 refers to a premium gasoline while the factor of
6.293 refers to deisel or gasoil fuel ?
I have no knowledge on this.
Many thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!!

ASTM Table 52 was replaced by API 11.5.3.
Old table 52 was to convert US BBLS @ 60ºF to M3 @ 15ºC and the inverse M3 @ 15ºC to BBLS @ 60ºF.
It was density dependent i.e. depending of density you had a factor and not product dependent.
Example: a hydrocarbon liquid with a density of 786 kg/m3 has a conversion factor of 6.293 - from M3 @ 15ºC to BBLS @ 60ºF.
By new API 11.5.3 we get:
bbls @ 60°F/m3 = Round(1 / (0.1589872949 * VCF15_5556), 0.000000001)
where VCF15_5556 is the TCL for an alternate temperature of 15.5556 ºC, as calculated from API 11.1 and is product dependent, i.e. for a crude oil use table 54A, for a gasoline 54B and for a lube oil use 54D - "new tables as per API 11.1".
