ГЭТ 18-2014 (НИЛ 2302)

Standard name:

  • ГЭТ 18-2014 State Primary Standard of the Unit of Density

Type of measurement:

  • Measurements of the physical and chemical composition and properties of substances

Structural division: name НИО\НИЛ:

  • Laboratory of State Standards in the Field of Measurements of Liquid Density and Viscosity

Guardian Scientist:

  • Domostroev Alexey Vladimirovich

Year of creation:

  • 1971

Year of re-confirmation:

  • 2015

Operating principle:

    • The basis of the reference installation ЭУ1 ГЭТ 18-2014 a method of hydrostatic weighing of an artifact is proposed - a reference sphere made of quartz glass with known values ​​of mass and volume;
    • ЭУ2 ГЭТ 18-2014 reference installation is based on the pycnometric method for measuring the density of liquefied gases and liquids under pressure using a pycnometer with an expansion chamber.

Composition of the standard:

The State Primary Standard of the Unit of Density consists of the following set of standard installations:

  • EU1 - standard installation for reproducing and transmitting the unit of density under normal conditions using the hydrostatic weighing method;
  • EU2 - standard installation for reproducing and transmitting the unit of density in the following ranges:
    temperatures from 0 to 100 °C;
    pressures from 0 to 10 MPa.
