Overview

The introduction of the ISO 9000 quality standard has resulted in renewed interest and pressure on industry to strengthen their quality and metrology standards. This is resulting in new interest and vigour in calibration in manufacturing industries and calibration laboratories world-wide. To meet this renewed interest, this text provides information on mass metrology. It aims to highlight the principles of physics involved and the technology needed to accurately measure the density of solids and liquids to high precision to meet the increasing demands on the metrology industry. Starting with a look at national and international density standards the book proceeds to discuss the variety methods used to accurately measure solid and liquid density, comparing and contrasting these techniques and providing a discussion of thermal dilation of liquids. Interferometers used in dimensional measurements of solid based density standards and corrections applicable due to finite aperture, phase change due to reflection and ringing and special methods for density determination are included. The final chapters detail specific points of relevance to density measurements and hydrometry for materials commonly used in industry.

Practical Density Measurement and Hydrometry is a comprehensive presentation on density measurements and the relevant theoretical background. For the first time, you can find many important pieces of information in a single publication. Detailed instructions for measurements and preparations make this book useful for all who are performing density measurements. I believe that many kind of readers can find from this book the information that they need in their work. Dr Martti Heinonen, Centre for Metrology and Accreditation The book is clearlt written and easy to understand. It contains a lot of evaluations of formulae that for practical measurements are represented in detailed tables. Methods and measurement procedures are described in detail, including also the calculation of uncertainty. Listings of the advantages and disadvantages of the different methods are very helpful. S V Gupta has written a book that will be a great help for scientists, students and practitioners. The book fills a gap since there is no modern book that describes density measurements and hydrometry in such detail. Horst Bettin The present book covering density measurement and hydrometry is a valuable addition to the metrology literature. . . The book is well illustrated with a large number of line drawings and photographs. In summary, this is a very comprehensive and well-written book and will be useful for practising metrologists at all level as well as those working in industry. Dr G. M.
