Abstract

Decentralization of the standards base in measuring the speed of sound in liquids by expressing the speed of sound in fractions of the speed of light in vacuum is considered. A method to take into account the diffraction effects by measuring the speed of sound in the case of a constant acoustic wavelength and binding the absolute speed of sound values to the calculated thermodynamic values obtained by the nonacoustical method when the adiabatic compressibility is equal to the isothermal one is proposed. Errors of the reproducibility of the unit of the speed of sound in water using the proposed method are estimated.
