Abstract: The usual way to check whether a nuclear mass formula is good or not is to compare the calculated mass with experimental value. In this paper some concepts are summaried which check one or two terms in the mass formula separately: (ⅰ) P/P ratio-pairing energy; (ⅱ) Janecke ratio-symmetry energy; (ⅲ) A-dependence of giant resonance energy-symmetry energy; (ⅳ) IMME (isobaric multiplets mass equation)-Coulomb energy; (ⅴ) Difference of Coulomb energies-Coulomb energy; (ⅵ) β-stability lineCoulomb energy and symmetry energy; (ⅶ) Fissibility-Coulomb energy and surface energy. The following nuclear mass formulae are compared with each other: (A) Revised Weizsacker formula; (B) Danos-Gillet formula; (C) Myers-Swiatecki formula; (D) our formula. The main results are the following: (ⅰ) P/P'=1 for (A), (B) or (C);=3/4 for (D), which is in agreement with the experiment. (ⅱ) From the Janecke ratio, the form T(T+1) for the symmetry energy is better than T(T+4) or T2. (ⅲ) By the symmetry term T2/Aa, with a=0.90, the A-depeneence of giant resonance can be explained extremely well. (ⅳ) IMME, M(A, Tz)=a+bTz2+cTz2+dT z3. Only for (D), d≠0. (ⅴ) △Eo=Eo (Z+I)—Ec (Z), For (A) and (B), △EcA1/3/(Z+(1/2))=const.; for (C), △EcA1/3/(Z+(1/2)) (1—1.689)/A2/3=const.; for (D), △Ec Z2/3=const., which is in good agreement with the experiment. (ⅵ) For the β-stability line, if we compare the calculated ZA with the experimental value ZA and calculate the root mean square devidtions, then for (A), RMS=0.450; (B)=0.589; (C)=0.438; (D)=0.429.
