Claim Text:
1. A system, comprising: a variable volume container that alters at least one of a temperature and a pressure of a reference fluid; a measurement component that records a first set of measurements of the reference fluid while the at least one of the temperature or the pressure of the reference fluid is altered; an analysis component that determines a first answer product based at least in part on the first set of measurements and at least one system parameter, wherein the at least one system parameter is uncalibrated; and a calibration component comprising instructions disposed on a non-transitory, machine readable medium, wherein the instructions are configured to monitor or control operations of the system to: determine a calibration function based at least in part on a comparison between the first answer product and at least one known property of the reference fluid; and calibrate the at least one system parameter based at least in part on the comparison, wherein the variable volume container additionally alters at least one of a temperature and a pressure of an unknown fluid sample, wherein the measurement component additionally records a second set of measurements of the unknown fluid sample while the at least one of the temperature and the pressure of the reference fluid is altered, and wherein the analysis component determines a second answer product based at least in part on the second set of measurements and the at least one system parameter as calibrated by the calibration component.
