Densimeters |
|
Densimeters determine the
density in liquids and
solids
using the displacement
method.
They are very useful for
testing the density of
plastic, rubber, metals,
ceramics, glass and
other non-metallic
materials. The method
used for determining
density by this device
is highly accurate and
produces readings
quickly. Measuring
density in liquids is
done by displacement
using a glass container.
The measurement of
density in solids is
done using a weight and
the volume of a sample.
The weighing device used
by densimeters to
measure density
determines weight and
volume calculated by the
displacement of liquid
caused by a sample that
generates displacement
within a liquid.

Software pack Printer Equipment for measuring
density
An easy way for measuring
density in a laboratory
consists of determining
the the weight and the
volume of the object and
to make the following
calculation: density [kg/m³]
is equal to mass [kg]
divided by volume [m³].
The volume of liquids is
determined by normal
means for determining
volume. To perform this
function you will
require flasks, cylinders
and pipettes.
With solids, volume can
be calculated taking
into consideration its
specific form, such as
cubes. For complicated
shapes, the object can
be placed into a
cylinder full of water.
The change in the level
of the liquid will
indicate the real volume
of the object.
Measurement of density
using hydrostatic densimeters
According to the
principles of bouyancy
for an object submerged
in a liquid, a force is
generated from the
bottom up to the top.
This force is called
displacement. The change
in displacement
corresponds to the
amount of liquid shown
to be in the cylinder.
Also, the force by
weight of the object is
equivalent to the change
in the volume of liquid.
