Calculation Formula

Gravimetric Factor (GF) = (Mass × Reference Density) / Volume

Where:
- Mass: The mass of the sample
- Reference Density: The density of the reference material
- Volume: The volume of the sample

Gravimetric Factor Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Gravimetric Factor Calculator and understand its applications in material science.

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter the mass of your sample in grams (g)
  2. Enter the volume of your sample in cubic centimeters (cm³)
  3. The reference density is pre-set to 2.7 g/cm³ (aluminum), but you can change it if needed
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the gravimetric factor
  5. The result will be displayed in the Gravimetric Factor (GF) field

Understanding the Gravimetric Factor

The Gravimetric Factor (GF) is a dimensionless quantity that relates mass, volume, and density. It's commonly used in material science to express the relationship between these properties and is particularly useful in:

  • Material characterization
  • Quality control measurements
  • Concentration calculations in chemical analyses
  • Engineering applications where weight-to-volume relationships are important

Principle of Calculation

The calculator uses the formula:

GF = (Mass × Reference Density) / Volume

This formula essentially tells us how much of a reference material would have the same volume as our sample, based on its mass. A higher gravimetric factor indicates a denser material relative to the reference.
