Densimeter testing basics

Densimeter testing to ascertain a part’s consistency is an essential quality control test – a vital part of incoming material evaluation. Densimeter testing involves weighing the material in air and then in a liquid of known density (usually water or ethanol).

Choosing the right densimeter is critical. You need to select wisely to avoid inconsistent measuring techniques and procedures in your quality control processes.

Easy use electronic densimeter

Featuring a high precision electronic balance, our densimeter devices determine the specific gravity of rubber, plastics (especially like polyethylene), ceramic, and various other materials with the single push of a button.

During each densimeter test the specific gravity of any sample can easily be read directly from the indicator screen.

Accurate and repeatable densimeter testing

The DSG-2 automatic densimeter weighs up the gravity and density measurements in its automated unit with highly accurate, repeatable results.

Certified densimeter testing – as standard

Our electronic densimeter was built to satisfy the most stringent of national and international testing standards including ISO 1183-1, JIS K7112 and JIS Z8807.

Densimeter optional extras

We can supply a number of different attachments so you can measure the specific gravity of many additional liquids, or the rate of change of other materials.

How to use a densimeter?

To use our electronic densimeter effectively you’ll need to place a beaker with the liquid you’re inspecting in a cabinet. Next you place the automatic densimeter in the beaker and launch your test. Soon after your data is shown clearly on the densimeter’s digital display.
