| Summary |
It is for the first time that a book of this magnitude covering the entire subject of volume and capacity measurements has hit the market. The strong point of the book is its more than 100 tables containing various corrections, factors, and conversions to compensate for various influence parameters. The most recent available data has been used in respect of density of water and mercury. Latest temperature scale namely, ITS 90 has been used. All possible permutation and combinations of influence parameters like coefficient of expansion, density of standard weights used, and reference temperatur |
