relative density preferred
specific gravity former
  • materjali tiheduse ja standardmaterjali tiheduse suhe
  • the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of some reference substance
  • ratio of density to a reference density, usually the density of water at 4°C
suhteline tihedus preferred
erikaal former
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“.

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).
