Performance Specifications




   Density Range
 
     The density range the instrument can measure.  Mass per volume, usually specified in kilogram per cubic meter (kg/m^3). The density of water is 1000 kg/m^3 and snow density is usually measured as a ratio to this. So snow which is 100 kg/m^3 is specified as 100/1000, or 10 percent.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Accuracy
 
     A measurement of how closely the instrument can read each measurement. 
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value.
   Specific Gravity (Relative Density)
 
     Specific gravity is the heaviness of a substance compared to that of water, and it is expressed without units. In the metric system specific gravity is the same as in the English system. If something is 7.85 times as heavy as an equal volume of water (such as iron is) its specific gravity is 7.85. Its density is 7.85 grams per cubic centimeter, or 7.85 kilograms per liter, or 7.85 metric tons per cubic meter.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Max Response Time
 
     The maximum amount of time it takes to make a density reading.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value.
Media Type




   Media Type:

Density Measurement Methods




   Density Measurement Methods:       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Oscillating Tube
 
     A hollow glass tube vibrates at a certain frequency. This frequency changes when the tube is filled with the sample: the higher the mass of the sample, the lower the frequency. This frequency is measured and converted into density. A built-in thermostat controls the temperature (no water bath required).
 
   Energy Attenuation
 
     Gamma energy emitted by the source passes through the pipe walls and the process material. As the density of the process material changes, so does the amount of energy reaching the detector. Electronics convert this energy reading to a density measurement.
 
   Microwave Phase Difference
 
     This exploits the way a fluid's density affects the propagation of microwaves when they pass through it.  This allows the reliable measurement of the fluid's density by monitoring the difference in microwave phase between the original wave and one passed through the measured fluid.  Unlike the method that depends on monitoring the attenuation of a transmitted wave, measuring fluid density by observing a wave's phase difference is unaffected by flow velocity and/or is not affected by the contamination and/or bubbles.
 
   Density Gradient
 
     Two liquids of different densities are layered in a glass tube so that over time, diffusion results in a vertical density gradient.
 
   Schlieren Method
 
     If you fill a capillary tube with liquid and hold it horizontally immersed in another liquid, the liquid will only flow horizontally from the tube if the densities of the two liquids are equal.
 
   Other
 
     Other unlisted or proprietary density measurement method.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
