|  | Kendrick mass
 |  | 
|  | |
 |  | 
|  | Mass obtained by multiplying a measured mass by the ratio of the nominal mass to the exact mass of a specified elemental formula F: 
 |  | 
|  | :Kendrick mass <nowiki>=</nowiki> observed mass x (nominal mass of F/exact mass of F). 
 |  | 
|  | In the common case of the elemental formula CH<sub>2</sub>, the measured mass is multiplied by 14/14.01565.
