Eureka! Alpha’s D2020 Density instrument is based on the Archimedes’ principle where the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a test sample immersed in water is equal to the weight of the water that the sample displaces and acts in the upward direction.
D2020 Density utilizes the compound’s weight in air and in water to account for any environmental differences during testing, resulting in higher quality standards and increased precision.
Fully automated operation helps ensure repeatability while freeing the operator for other tasks in the lab. Additionally, rapid readings help reduce water absorption which translates into a more accurate reading. For even greater precision the specific gravity of the liquid is automatically corrected for temperature.
