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
  • ISQ tuletatud suurus
  • 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
  • derived quantity ISQ
tihedus preferred
Usage examples
  • Tihedus on füüsikaline suurus, mis näitab aine massi ruumalaühikus.
  • 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.
ρ symbol
Usage examples
  • Tiheduse tavatähis on väike kaldtäht ρ ja mõõtühik SI-s on kilogramm kuupmeetri kohta (kg/m3).
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.

ρ symbol
Usage examples
  • The standard symbol for density is the lowercase italic letter ρ, and the SI unit is the kilogram per cubic meter (kg/m³).
