This document specifies a method for determining the conventional volumetric mass ("liter weight in air") of animal and vegetable fats and oils (hereinafter referred to as fats) with the aim of converting volume to mass or mass to volume. The process can only be used on fats when they are in the liquid state. Milk and milk products (or fat from milk and milk products) are excluded from the scope of this document. NOTE The determination of conventional volumetric mass (liter weight in air) using the oscillating U-tube method can be found in ISO 18301.
