  • 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.
