We’re excited to announce an upgrade to our analytical capabilities with the introduction of enhanced density measurement services. With precision analysis available across a broad temperature range (0°C to 100°C), even for samples as small as 1 mL, we’re equipped to meet the most challenging demands in research and quality control.
Density measurements to international standards
Our improved density measurement processes ensure rapid turnaround without sacrificing accuracy. The technique employs the pulsed excitation method, compliant with internationally recognized standards including ASTM (D4052, D5002), DIN (51757), and ISO (2811-3, 12185) and pharmacopoeia standards including Ph. Eur. 2.2.5 and USP 841,
Density measurements can be reported to up to five decimal places. A selection of units are available, including g/cm3, kg/m3, g/ml and lb/gal, along with specific gravity (SG), the ratio of material density to that of water, and SG t/04, the ratio of the sample density to that of water at 4°C, where water’s density is at its highest.
Who uses density measurements?
Density measurements are essential for research, ingredient sourcing and quality control. Commonly measured materials include:
- Fuels and lubricants,
- Pharmaceutical solutions, emulsions and suspensions
- Beverages (such as spirits, wines, and beer),
- Personal care products and ingredients, including fragrances, emollients, surfactant solutions
- Polymers in solution
- Food ingredients, fats and oils.
