Abstract
A sample of one hundred and six X-ray galaxy clusters has been analysed in detail. Here we give the observed X-ray luminosity - gravitational mass relation. Possible future applications include conversion of empirical cluster luminosity functions to mass functions and conversion of simulated mass functions to luminosity functions.
