...for solids being pure distilled or rain water (=1.000) at 60° F. The number, therefore, expressing the specific gravity of a body is the number of times it is heavier or lighter than an equal volume of water. For example, if two bodies of equal bulk differ in density... | |

...a gas then is the number of criths contained in one litre of it measured at 0° C. and 760 mm ; or the number of times it is heavier than an equal volume of hydrogen. Hence the mass in grams of a litre of any normal gas call be found by multiplying its density... | |

... In the case of gases, the liter, = 1000 cc., is taken as the unit of volume, and the mass of one liter of normal hydrogen, called a crith, = .0896 gram, is taken as the unit of mass. The density of a gas, then, is the number of criths contained in...
