Factors to convert the mass of water (in g) to true volume (in ml), as required by the « measuring container » Directive (75/107/ECC)

Scope of application

This data sheet is aimed to give information for converting the mass of water (in g) to true volume (in ml) as requested by the measuring container directive (75/107/EEC).
The capacity of a glass container from the mass of water filling the container is calculated and adjusted by a density factor of the water at a given temperature.
This document gives references for tap water. For distilled water, refer to the standard ISO 8106 - GLASS CONTAINERS - DETERMINATION OF CAPACITY BY GRAVIMETRIC METHOD - TEST METHOD

This permanent group is dedicated to a wide range of topics downstream of the production of glass bottles and jars dedicated to the food and beverage industries:

  • Surface treatments, marking, labelling;
  • Testing methods (impact, headspace, internal pressure, etc.);
  • Nomenclatures (of finishes, jars, bottles, and visual defects, etc.);
  • Quality management (food and beverage safety, best practices, regulations).
