The specific volumes of Pd40Ni40P20 were measured in the liquid, glass, and crystallized states. It was found that in the molten state, for temperatures below ∼1000 K, the specific volume measurement was successful only if the specimens were properly purified. Such purification could be achieved by fluxing the molten specimen in dehydrated boron oxide. Relaxation effects are observed and they manifested themselves in the variation of the thermal expansion coefficient with the quenching rates of the glassy specimens. The intersection points of the specific volume curves of the liquid (both stable and metastable), glass and crystallized are 573±80 and 492±80 K (extrapolated values), respectively. The former agrees very well with the glass transition temperature 577 K, obtained by the calorimetry method, while the latter implies that the melt, in accord with free volume theory, will have collapsed to the glass before that temperature is reached.
