Density of raw materials and finished products affects their quality and lifetime. A properly performed density determination analysis may be crucial to verify material characteristics.
A new, comprehensive application page entitled Density Measurement from METTLER TOLEDO explains the challenges and solutions regarding one of the most common gravimetric laboratory techniques – Buoyancy Method, which is based on Archimedes’ Principle. The rule, dating back to 200 BC,states that a body immersed in fluid indicates an apparent loss in weight equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces. This principle applies today to gravimetric determination of density.
Using a balance and a density kit,users can determine the density of several materials by having all the essential knowledge on one page,which covers issues such as:
- Application workflow, including a comparison table showing different density determination methods and density standards
- Formulas and calculation examples
- Process challenges
- Smart solutions
- Application Note
- FAQs
- Assistance and advice on request
