Percent Mass per Volume

**Semantic type:** Quantitative Concept

**Definition:** A unit of percentage concentration expressed as a fraction of a component by mass in the entire volume of a resulting mixture. The standard conditions for temperature and pressure apply. The mass-volume percentage is used for liquid solute/solution systems and systems containing solid phase components. The concept also refers to the weight-volume percentage concentration given that standard values for specific gravity of the solute are used.
