Good to know
  • Keemiasõnastiku KEM järgi on „erikaal“ vananenud termin, kuid TSR järgi seda nt ehitusvaldkonnas kasutatakse. [07.03.2001]
relative density preferred
Good to know
  • Relative density is expressed as a dimensionless quantity.
  • This quantity was formerly called „specific gravity“.

  • mass ruumalaühiku kohta väljendatuna kilogrammides kuupmeetri kohta või grammides milliliitri kohta temperatuuril 15 0C ja rõhul 101,325 kPa
  • substance is its mass per unit volume
  • at a given point within a three-dimensional domain of quasi-infinitesimal volume dV, scalar quantity equal to the mass dm within the domain divided by the volume dV, thus ρ = dm/dV
tihedus preferred
Usage examples
  • Materjali tihedus on muutuv sõltuvalt temperatuurist ja rõhust ning see muutus on tavaliselt väike tahkete ainete ja vedelike puhul, kuid palju suurem gaaside puhul; ka objekti rõhu suurendamine vähendab objekti mahtu ja suurendab seega selle tihedust ning aine temperatuuri tõstmine (mõne erandiga) vähendab selle tihedust, suurendades selle mahtu.
erikaal former
mahukaal deprecated
density preferred
Usage examples
  • The density of a material varies with temperature and pressure, and this variation is typically small for solids and liquids but much greater for gases. Increasing the pressure on an object decreases the volume of the object and thus increases its density, and increasing the temperature of a substance (with a few exceptions) decreases its density by increasing its volume.

suhteline tihedus preferred
erikaal former
relative density preferred
  • aine tiheduse (ruumalaühiku massi) ja antud tugimaterjali tiheduse suhe
  • antud aine etteantud mahu massi suhe sama mahuga vee massi
  • ratio of the density (mass of a unit volume) of a substance to the density of a given reference material
suhteline tihedus preferred
Usage examples
  • Teaduslikus kasutuses eelistatakse terminit "suhteline tihedus", samas kui termin "erikaal" on aegunud.
Good to know
  • Vedelike suhtelist tihedust mõõdetakse peaaegu alati kõige tihedama vee suhtes (4 °C juures) ja gaaside puhul on võrdlusaluseks õhk toatemperatuuril (20 °C).
erikaal former
relative density preferred
Usage examples
  • The term "relative density" (often abbreviated r.d. or RD) is often preferred in scientific usage, whereas the term "specific gravity" is deprecated.
Good to know
  • Relative density for liquids is nearly always measured with respect to water at its densest (at 4 °C), and for gases, the reference is air at room temperature (20 °C).
