Description
Summary:In general mass measurements are carried out in air and that’s why air buoyancy correction plays a major role in mass measurements and it is totally dependent on density of air of the laboratory during the measurement. The density of air is calculated from temperature, relative humidity, air pressure, concentration of CO 2 monitored (for CIPM formula only) in the laboratory rather direct determination and for calculation of density of air, CIPM-2007 formula is recognized as most accurate formula. Since CIPM formula is very complicated formula and it is not required for less accurate measurements, different National Metrology Institutes have derived simple equations to calculate air density and those are known as approximation formulas. We had gone through a comparative analysis among different formulas of density of air to evaluate which approximation formula is most accurate compare to CIPM-2007 formula.
