The National Physical Laboratory is operated on behalf of the DTI by NPL Management Limited - PPT Presentation

Need for the Determination of Air Density Air is dense A cubic metre of air weighs approximately 12 kilograms A 1 kilogram stainless steel weight displaces 150 mg of air The density of air can vary between about 11 kg m 3 and 13 kg m 3 which is equi ID: 29891
