metrologia Measurement of Absolute Water Density, 1°C to 40 O C J. B. Patterson and E. C.Morris Abstract. The absolute density of Standard Mean Ocean Water (SMOW) has been determined over the range 1 C to 40°C by weighing a hollow sphere of known volume in air-free water samples of measured isotopic content. The volume of the sphere as a function of temperature is known as a result of a combination of interferometric and mechanical measurements. The measured densities are tabulated. A formula (asproposed by Thiesen et al. [14]) and a fifth-order polynomial in temperature have been fitted to the tabulated data by least-squares analysis. The density calculated from the polynomial is estimated to have a standard uncertainty ranging from 0,64parts in IO6 at 15C to 1,4parts in lo6 at 1C and 40°C. Comparisons are made with published data. 1. Introduction of the immersed object must be a known function of temperature over this range. Pure air-free water of known isotopic content is a very Cubic objects have sometimes been chosen for convenient standard of density. Due to doubt concerning density work, but an evacuated hollow glass sphere the accuracy of the present water density tables, which made from an ultra-low expansion (ULE) glass [3] still rely heavily on data obtained at the beginning was used in this case. The spherical form was chosen of the twentieth century [I], standards laboratories because it is relatively easy to manufacture and is less have unde
