This is the mass that must be added or removed from a ship in order to change the ship draught by a value of ONE centimeter.
>TPC varies with the draught and water density.
>TPC will help us to know the draught at different loads
Tonnage Per Centimeter (TPC) = (A) x (d) /100
A = area of water plane at a certain draught
d= density of water in which the ship floats.
