Partial specific volume
Encyclopedia
The partial specific volume or PSV is a measure of the density
of the particle using its calculated volume and mass information. The PSV is usually written in terms of milliLiters
(mL) per gram
(g).
Partial specific volume is an inverse of density.
Density
The mass density or density of a material is defined as its mass per unit volume. The symbol most often used for density is ρ . In some cases , density is also defined as its weight per unit volume; although, this quantity is more properly called specific weight...
