Automatic Density Meter, Oscillating U-Tube
Bench density meter that reads the density of a liquid from the resonant frequency of a vibrating quartz U-tube, on a sample of 2 to 3 mL.
Typical applications
- Petroleum and petrochemical products
- Pharmaceutical quality control
- Chemicals
- Food and beverage
- Physics and chemistry teaching laboratories
Conforms to
- ASTM D4052—Density, relative density and API gravity of liquids by digital density meter

Worth knowing before you order
The specification table on the facing page did not survive scanning, so the measuring accuracy, the repeatability and the temperature control range and accuracy are all absent. That matters more here than anywhere else in this section: U-tube density moves with sample temperature, so a fifth decimal place on the display means nothing unless the Peltier holds the tube to a stated tolerance. Ask for the control accuracy and the density accuracy in writing before you compare the two models. On the CFR model, the CFR designation buys the software — audit trail, user accounts and permissions, electronic signature — and nothing more. 21 CFR Part 11 compliance is demonstrated by your own validated process and its qualification and change-control records; it is not a certificate that ships with a machine.Specification
| Measuring principle | Oscillating quartz glass U-tube with photoelectric detection |
|---|---|
| Density range, two models | 0 to 3.0000 g/cm³ on the standard model; 0 to 3.00000 g/cm³ on the CFR model |
| Sample volume | 2 to 3 mL per measurement |
| Temperature control | Built-in Peltier; the catalogue prints no control range and no control accuracy |
| Sample introduction | Manual injection or automatic sampling |
| Bubble checking | 1080p camera over the tube, with video of the injection so the operator can see bubbles and particles |
| Display | 10.1 inch touch screen, Android operating system |
| Records | Results saved as PDF reports and exported to USB; batch collection and storage |
| Interfaces | RS-232C serial, USB |
| Cleaning | Built-in air pump for drying and cleaning the tube |
| Printer | Thermal printer offered as an option |
| CFR model software | Adds user accounts and permissions, audit trail and electronic signature on records |
| Standard accessories | Silicon gel filter, waste water bottle, inlet and outlet tube, power adaptor, instruction manual, test certificate |
