Density Determination
Density Determination
Purpose: You can determine the density and volume of liquid, solid or pasty materials.
Combination options: Checkweighing, statistics, second tare or individual identifiers.
Requirements: You require the Sartorius YDK01MS density determination kit or your own
customer-specific set. The basic calculations for density determination are described
at the end of this chapter.
Features *= Factory setting
Liquid
*Water: for density determination using water; the density for the corresponding
temperature is calculated automatically
Ethanol: for density determination using ethanol; the density for the corresponding
temperature is calculated automatically
Individual entry: for density determination using another liquid, enter liquid and its density for
corresponding temperature
Density at 20°C and coefficient: for density determination using another liquid, enter density at 20 °C and the
coefficients of expansion, the density for the corresponding temperature
is calculated automatically.
Air density
*Air density at 20°C: for measurement under standard laboratory conditions
Individual entry: for measurement under other conditions, enter air density
Decimal places
None: The measurement value is displayed without decimal places.
1, *2, 3 or 4 places: The measurement value is displayed with the selected number of decimal places.
You can choose from four methods for density determination:
– Determine density of liquid (with glass plummet)
– Determine density via buoyancy with Sartorius YDK01MS density determination
kit (for solid samples)
– Determine density via displacement (for solid samples)
– Determine density via pycnometer (for liquid, pasty and powder samples)
