3 Measuring Principle3 Measuring PrincipleDefinition of density and specific gravityConcentration measurementThe density ρ of a sample is defined as massdivided by volume:In binary mixtures, the density of the mixture is afunction of its composition. Thus, the density valueof a binary mixture can be used to calculate itscomposition with the aid of density/concentrationtables.m ----VThe specific gravity SG is calculated by dividing thedensity of a sample by the density of pure water at20 C: SampleSG ------------------- WaterDensity and Specific Gravity values are highlytemperature-dependent.The oscillating U-tube methodThe sample is introduced into a U-shapedborosilicate glass tube that is being excited tovibrate at its characteristic frequency. Thecharacteristic frequency changes depending on thedensity of the sample. Through a precisedetermination of the characteristic frequency and amathematical conversion, the density of the samplecan be measured.The density is calculated from the quotient of theperiod of oscillations of the U-tube and the referenceoscillator:This is also possible with so-called quasi binarymixtures. These are mixtures containing two majorcomponents and some additional componentswhich are present in very small concentrationscompared to the two main components. Manydecarbonated soft drinks, for example, can beconsidered to be quasi binary solutions of sugar inwater because the concentration of flavors andacids are very small compared to sugar and water.Thus, the sugar concentration can be measuredwith a density meter.Note that the accuracy of the concentrationmeasurement depends not only on the accuracy ofthe instrument, but also on the slope of thedensity/concentration correlation. This means, forexample, that a density measurement with anaccuracy of 0.00001 g/cm3 will be converted intoan ethanol value with a significantly smalleraccuracy of 0.025 % w/w. The accuracy of sometypical concentration measurements is given inappendix A.1.density KA Q 2 f 1 – KB f 2KA, KB . apparatus constantsQ . oscillation period of the U-tube divided bythe oscillation period of the referenceoscillatorf1, f2 . correction factors for temperature,viscosity, and nonlinearity10C76IB003EN-N
4 The Instrument – Overview4 The Instrument – OverviewThe density and concentration meters of the DMA Mseries have been developed to combine highestprecision with easy operation and robust design.Measurement is based on the oscillating U-tubemethod that has been invented at a researchinstitute in Graz, Austria, and first introduced ontothe market by Anton Paar in 1967.Error detectionA major source of measuring errors with densitymeters are gas bubbles in the measuring cell. Thisissue is addressed by Anton Paar with two newfeatures: FillingCheck : The instrument automaticallydetects inhomogeneities and gas bubbles in thewhole measuring cell by an advanced analysisof its oscillation pattern. Where necessary, awarning message is generated in real time forevery single measurement. U-View : Real-time images by a camera withzoom function enable you to visually inspect themeasuring cell.Features and BenefitsAccuracyYour DMA M series instrument is equipped with theworld’s most advanced digital density measurementtechnology: The period of oscillation of the U-tube ismeasured by optical pickups.User interface Two integrated Pt 100 platinum thermometerstogether with Peltier elements provide anextremely precise thermostatting of the sample.The touch screen user interface facilitates easy andintuitive operation in routine applications as well asin demanding scientific research work: ThermoBalance : An additional referenceoscillator provides long-term stability andenables precise measurements over the wholetemperature range of the instrument with onlyone adjustment at 20 C. For the most common applications, 10measuring methods are predefined. Just selectthe method fitting your application, or createyour own methods. Viscosity-related errors are automaticallycorrected over the full viscosity range bymeasuring the damping effect of the viscoussample which is subsequently taken account ofin the calculation of the definitive density value. Density values are automatically converted intoconcentration values for a large number offactory-programmed substances. You can addfurther substances as required by yourself. Optionally operate DMA 4100/4500/5000 M viaexternal keyboard, mouse, or bar code reader. Optionally connect an external monitor or touchscreen (VGA interface). With DMA 5000 M, the precision for sampleswith high viscosity and high density can beincreased by special adjustments withstandards of high viscosity and high density. The built-in atmospheric pressure sensorenables correct air adjustment, as the airdensity is dependent on the atmosphericpressure.C76IB003EN-NCompact and robust designThe instruments of the DMA M series keep up thetradition of the legendary previous DMA generations: Compact design Sealed housing Robust housing materials: coated aluminum(top and sides), aluminum (base and back), andpolystyrene/butadiene (front)11
