Abstract	Density and speed of sound have been accurately measured at atmospheric pressure and different temperatures for n - decane, n - hexadecane, and three different types of Omani crude oil samples. These crude samples cover the light, medium and heavy oils from different oil fields. A general correlation has been developed to correlate density and speed of sound for the mentioned samples. Statistical analysis on the obtained correlations has shown accurate predictions using the proposed correlations
