PCE-LS series ( clase II) densimeter
with internal calibration, graphic display, multi-language menu, RS-232 interface and optional software.
Weight range of: 0 to 500 or 0 to 3000g / Resolution : 0.001g / 0.01g

The PCE-LS series densimeter is attractive due to its high level of accuracy and its multi-functions. It is an exceptional device with its durable cast aluminium enclosure. The graphic display with capacity indicator makes results easy to read. With the optional software application, data can be transferred to a computer by way of the RS-232 interface. If you only have a USB port, then we have a seperate RS-232 to USB adaptor available. The device is has an internal automatic calibration feature or an external calibration can be performed with optional test weights (only in cases where the densimeter is not verified). The densimeter can also be calibrated in an accredited test laboratory to certify that it meets with ISO standards. There all also a variety of other optional accessories available for the device.
This link shows an overview of other densimeters that are available to meet your needs. Below you will be able to see the technical specifications of this device. Feel free to call us to discuss the features of these devices or any other models we have available. Our technical department will be have to assess your situation.

PCE-LS 500
(with a round, 120mm diameter weighng pan)

The image above shows the PCE-LS 500 densimeter with a round weighing pan and a small protective cover which comes included. The PCE-LS 3000 has a cuadrangular weighing pan.  Both pans have been manufactured using stainless steel and can b used in all types of laboratory work and research.

PCE-LS 3000 densimeter
(with a cuadrangular weighing pan of 165 x 165mm)

 - Piece counting with the PCE-LS densimeter: 
   user selectable piece reference, with changeable piece weight measurement units.
 
 - Internal adjustment setting: if the densimeter produces an oscilation of ±1°C or after a period of fixed time, the device makes an autimatic adjustment using an internal claibration weight.

 - Date and time adjustment (requires user specific code for access).
 
 - RS-232 interface to connect the device to a computer
 
 - Capacity indicator: a luminous bar shows the available weight range for the densimeter.
 
 - Cast aluminium enclosure which is durable and reliable.
 
 - Level for setting up the device correctly

 - Protection against dust and water jet: IP 54

 - Optional calibration certification (to meet with standards such as DIN ISO 9000).

 - For professional use.

View or print the user's manual

Aside from showing a digital representation of the measured weight, the LCD also shows a bar to indicate the remaining range capacity (0 to 100%). This allows the user to check how much of the measurement range has been used. The light intensity of the display backlight can also be adjusted via the keypad. The image above shows the display of the densimeter with backlit illumination off.

With this declaration of conformity, we have a written document that shows the PCE-LS densimeter meets with the specific properties outimed in the document. This is presented in different languages according to the standards met by the densimeter.
If you click on the image to the right, you can see the declaration, or if you click on the user's manual PDF.

Calibration: according to the UE 90 / 384 / EWG directives, all densimeters should be officially calibrated for:
 a) In comercial transactions where market price is determined by weight.
 b) The manufacture of medicine, including analysis in a medical laboratory and pharmaceutical company.
 c) For determining taxes, tariffs and fines in official cases and judgements.
 d) The fabrication of packaging.

Each densimeter can be reviewed by the Calibration Office. This will endsure that the device is functioning accurately within a specified range of tolerance that is permitted. Con ello se confirma su precisión dentro del marco de tolerancia de calibración permitido. The EU validation extends across all member states of the European Union.

Calibration of the densimeter with the CAL adjust programme: the programme will be identified by an official mark after the first calibration. The valibration will be valid for a given period of time. This will require the device to be associated with the postcode of the organisation to fascilitate the calibration. Depending on the model, this calibration can be done by the manufacturer or onsite.

Calibration of a densimeter by adjustment or automatic change: There are no limits when the device is being used onsite, as the automatic calibration can be done when required after the initial calibration.

Calibration value: measured as the tolerance of a calibration, almost always between 1 and 10 days.

Software
This software application will allow for transfer of data to a computer via the RS-232 connector. It will also include time and date to allow data to be documented correctly on a computer. Daa can also be exported to other programmes such as Excel. If your computer only has a USB port, then the corresponding adaptor should be used.

RS-232 to USB adaptor
AnRS-232 cable is included with the software application. If you require a USB style connector, then this adaptor will permit you to connect the densimeter to a USB port.

Printer
To print data results directly from the device, to document weights in a laboratory. It comes with an RS.232 connector and 240V mains adaptor. The papar is 112mm wide.

Official calibration according to class M II
Calibration of this type of densimeter can only be done by an official body which has authorisation to perform this task. Once this is done, an annual recalibration will not be required using an external calibration weight.
The first calibration is valid for two years, after which the device will need to be recalibrated annually.

ISO laboratory calibration certificate
  For companies that wish to include the thickness meter as one of their internal tools or for annual recalibrations.
  The ISO certification includes a laboratory calibration and a document with all the measurement values.

Device for determining density
This device is used for determing the density of solids. It uses the hydrostatic principal. Density is the relation between weight [g] and volume [cm³].
Weight is determined by weighing the test material in the air. Volume is determined by testing the material while it is submerged in liquid.
