Pycnometer volume correction

Input(s)

VkV_{k}: Calibration Volume of Specific Gravity bottle (Pycnometer) (mL\left(\mathrm{mL}\right. or cm3)\left.\mathrm{cm}^{3}\right)

TtT_{t}: Test Temperature (C)\left({ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)

TkT_{k}: Calibration Temperature (C)\left({ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)

Ω\Omega: Material Constant (for Ordinary Glass =0.276104/C=0.276 \cdot 10^{-4} /{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C} )

Ω\Omega: Material Constant (for Pyrex Glass =0.156104/C=0.156 \cdot 10^{-4} /{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C} )

Output(s)

VgV_{g}: Real Volume of Specific Gravity bottle (Pycnometer) (mL\left(\mathrm{mL}\right. or cm3)\left.\mathrm{cm}^{3}\right)

Formula(s)

Vg=Vk[1+Ω(TgTk)]\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{g}}=\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{k}}\left[1+\Omega\left(\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{g}}-\mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{k}}\right)\right]
