The main purpose of this document is to provide a standard definition for each of the many terms directly related to mass properties engineering within the marine industry or those related terms within the naval architecture discipline. The intent of this document is not to impart new knowledge, but to standardize current terminology across all standards of the Committee. The intent of this document is not to replace the inclusion of definitions within each standard or other product as definitions are considered most useful to the reader when they are readily available without reference to another independent document.
