Sartorius Density Determination
The Optimal Equipment for All Methods
Whether you use the buoyancy method,
the displacement principle or the
pycnometer method for determining the
density of solid, powdery or liquid samples
– Sartorius offers you the technical equip-
ment for performing these applications
simply, quickly and precisely.
These include:
– Analytical and precision balances
– The YDK01 or YDK01LP density
determination kits
– An integrated application program built
into the balance for density determina-
tion (standard software in all ME and LA
balances)
Easy to use
Nothing is more annoying in laboratory
applications than complicated operating
sequences with delicate and sensitive
instruments. This is why our density
determination kits have been built to be
especially rugged and uncomplicated.
Perfected technology and practical
accessories
Large and easily accessible sample holders
are supplied so that you can perform meas-
urements in air or in a buoyancy medium.
The special design prevents air bubbles
from adhering, which could otherwise
distort your results.
If you weigh a substance with a density
less than that of the buoyancy medium –
forget the extra work. The specially shaped
weighing pan lets you immerse your sample
effortlessly below the surface of the liquid.
And determination of the density of liquids
couldn’t be easier than with our standard-
ized glass plummet.
The integrated application software
controls the measurements and
evaluates them for you
The application software integrated into
the balances of the ME and Cubis series
provides you with the ultimate in user
convenience.
Just select your preferred method of meas-
urement by menu, weigh your samples and
the balance does the entire evaluation for
you. In the process, it automatically takes
into account all important factors that
influence the measurement. For example,
after you have entered the temperature,
the balance directly calculates the density
of the selected immersion medium.
Results in black and white
A record of your results is printed out on
the interfaced data printer – if you wish,
as an ISO/GLP-compliant record.
The printout includes the following data:
– Temperature and density of the buoyancy
medium
– Weight value of the sample during
weighings in air and immersed in the
medium
– The volume and the density of the sample
