Cubical coefficient of expansion at 15 °C = 0.001 016 per °C
To obtain the net volume of liquid at 15 °C, multiply the uncompensated meter reading by the volume correction factor (VCF) which corresponds to the average measured temperature of the liquid during the delivery.
Densities are mass (in vacuum) and are based on specification grade isopropyl alcohol whose mass density is 785.027 kg/m3 at 20 °C. Volume correction factor data was derived using the equation in Table 4 of ASTM E 201-70.
