P1 P2 Measured volume (cm3) Certified volume (cm3) Tolerance (cm3)
17.116 8.482 56.642 56.6 56.1 - 57.1
17.161 8.506 56.679 56.6 56.1 - 57.1

Sample:

The pressure readings, calculated volumes and density values obtained for the test material are shown in the following table:

Determination P1 P2 Volume (cm3) Density (kg/m3)
A 17.117 8.879 64.838 1092.1
B 17.132 8.826 63.631 1092.5

Temperature = 21.5 +/- 0.5 deg. C
