| Instrument Type | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Density Instruments | Density and specific gravity instruments are meters used to determine density and specific gravity. | ||
| Hydrometer | Hydrometers are calibrated glass floats used to determine the specific gravity of a liquid. | ||
| Pycnometer | Pycnometers are glass or metal containers with a determined volume. They are typically used to determine the density of liquids and their dispersions | ||

| ||
| Pressure Range | The pressure range of the sample the density instrument can operate in. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| Temperature Range | The temperature range of the sample the density instrument can operate in. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| Density Range | The density range the instrument can measure. Mass per volume, usually specified in kilogram per cubic meter (kg/m^3). The density of water is 1000 kg/m^3 and snow density is usually measured as a ratio to this. So snow which is 100 kg/m^3 is specified as 100/1000, or 10 percent. | ||
| Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
| Specific Gravity (Relative Density) | Specific gravity is the heaviness of a substance compared to that of water, and it is expressed without units. In the metric system specific gravity is the same as in the English system. If something is 7.85 times as heavy as an equal volume of water (such as iron is) its specific gravity is 7.85. Its density is 7.85 grams per cubic centimeter, or 7.85 kilograms per liter, or 7.85 metric tons per cubic meter. | ||

| Technology Type | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Digital Instrument | This style of instrument is a digital benchtop or other mounted instrument with a local display or a signal output. | ||
| Glass Assembly | A glass beaker of defined volume is weighed without sample (M1). It is then filled with the sample and weighed again (M2). The difference between M1 and M2 (=Mass of the sample) divided by the volume of the beaker is the density of the sample. | ||
| Oscillating Tube | A hollow glass tube vibrates at a certain frequency. This frequency changes when the tube is filled with the sample: the higher the mass of the sample, the lower the frequency. This frequency is measured and converted into density. A built-in thermostat controls the temperature (no water bath required). | ||
| Energy Attenuation | Gamma energy emitted by the source passes through the pipe walls and the process material. As the density of the process material changes, so does the amount of energy reaching the detector. Electronics convert this energy reading to a density measurement. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted or proprietary density measurement method. Examples include ultrasonic and radiation densitometers. | ||
