  2. Mass versus weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_versus_weight

    Conventional mass is defined as follows: "For a mass at 20 °C, 'conventional mass' is the mass of a reference standard of density 8,000 kg/m 3 which it balances in air with a density of 1.2 kg/m 3." The effect is a small one, 150 ppm for stainless steel mass standards, but the appropriate corrections are made during the manufacture of all ...
