Appendix B – Z Factor
The reference calculation equation is :
Z = [1/(P
W
-P
A
)] [1-(P
A
/P
B
)]
Where:
P
A
= density of air at t°C.
P
W
= density of the test liquid at t°C.
P
B
= density of the balance weights.
Use 8 g/cc for
P
B
NOTE
Weights conforming to International recommendation N°33 of OIML have
been adjusted to give results when weighing in air as if the density of the
weights were 8.0 g/mL.
Values of the conversion factor
Z
(µL/mg) as a function of temperature and pressure for
distilled water.
