Densimeters
Densimeters determine the density in liquids and solids using the displacement method. The densimeters are very useful for testing the density of plastic, rubber, metals, ceramics, glass and other non-metallic materials. With these densimeters the method used for determining density is highly accurate and produces readings quickly. Measuring density in liquids i s done by displacement from 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 determines weight and volume by calculating the displacement of liquid caused by a sample that generates displacement within a liquid. If you can't find the densimeters you are looking for, please contact us and we will help you find the best solution to suit your needs by calling our offices on: +44 (0)2380 987030 and our technical staff will advise you regarding our measuring instruments.

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 buoyancy 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.
