Fundamentals of mass measurements

AbstractThe article makes a bridge between quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and conventional beam balances revealing the role of the field in mass measurements. Thus, three fundamental principles for mass measurements are formulated and demonstrated: the field principle, the mass sensitivity principle and the general equivalence principle.
