3 Density of air-free water
4 Density of dry air, in grams per cubic centimetre,
in the temperature range 10 to 30 deg C and at
absolute pressures between 930 and 1040 mbar
5 Coefficient of cubical thermal expansion, delta
6 Corrections appropriate to a vessel with nominal
capacity of 1000 ml made of glass having a cubical
thermal coefficient of cubical thermal expansion of
(10 x 10 to the power -6) per deg C (for example
borosilicate glass)
7 Corrections appropriate to a vessel with a nominal
capacity of 1000 ml made of glass having a
coefficient of cubical thermal expansion of (15 x 10
to the power -6) per deg C (for example neutral
glass)
8 Corrections appropriate to a vessel with a nominal
capacity of 1000 ml made of glass having a
coefficient of cubical thermal expansion of (25 x 10
to the power -6) per deg C
9 Corrections appropriate to a vessel with a nominal
capacity of 1000 ml made of glass having a
coefficient of cubical thermal expansion of (30 x 10
to the power -6) per deg C (for example soda-lime
glass)
10 Additional corrections for air temperature and
pressure appropriate to a vessel with a nominal
capacity 1000 ml
