Turpentine
Turpentine (which is also called spirit of turpentine, oil of turpentine, terebenthine, terebenthene, terebinthine and, colloquially, turps) is a fluid obtainable by the distillation of resin harvested from living trees, mainly pines. Principally used as a specialized solvent, it is also a source of material for organic syntheses. Turpentine is composed of terpenes, primarily the monoterpenes α-pinene and β-pinene, with lesser amounts of carene, camphene, limonene, and terpinolene. Nowadays, turpentine is rarely the product of distillation of pine resin, but is a byproduct of pulping Wikipedia

The maximum degree of filling must not exceed the degree of filling determined by the following:<br>  <br>Where: <br>t<sub>r</sub> is the maximum mean bulk temperature during transport, <br>t<sub>f</sub> is the temperature in degrees celsius of the liquid during filling, and <br>α is the mean coefficient of cubical expansion of the liquid between the mean temperature of the liquid during filling (t<sub>f</sub>) and the maximum mean bulk temperature during transportation (t<sub>r</sub>) both in degrees celsius. <br>b. For liquids transported under ambient conditions α may be calculated using the formula:<br>  <br>Where: <br>d<sub>15</sub> and d<sub>50</sub> are the densities (in units of mass per unit volume) of the liquid at 15 °C (59 °F) and 50 °C (122 °F), respectively.
