Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 densitythe mass per unit volume of a material.3.1.2 relative densitythe ratio of the mass of a given volume of a material to the mass of the same volume of water at the sametemperature (see

20、Note 2).NOTE 2Relative density is also described as specific gravity.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 The sample is placed in a standardized pycnometer. The pycnometer and sample are weighed, then the remaining volumeis filled with water. The filled pycnometer is brought to the test temperature and weig

21、hed. The density of the sample is calculatedfrom its mass and the mass of water displaced by the sample in the filled pycnometer.5. Significance and Use5.1 Values of density are used for converting volumes to units of mass, and for correcting measured volumes from thetemperature of measurement to a

22、standard temperature using Practice D4311/D4311M.5.2 The quality of the results produced by this standard are dependent on the competence of the personnel performing theprocedure and the capability, calibration, and maintenance of the equipment used. Agencies that meet the criteria of SpecificationD

23、3666 are generally considered capable of competent and objective testing, sampling, inspection, etc. Users of this standard arecautioned that compliance with Specification D3666 alone does not completely ensure reliable results. Reliable results depend onmany factors; following the suggestions of Sp

24、ecification D3666 or some similar acceptable guideline provides a means ofevaluation and controlling some of these factors.6.
