Quickly determine specific gravity or weight per gallon
Use these precision-made stainless steel cups with your laboratory balance to determine specific gravity or pounds per gallon. Simply tare balance to cup weight, then weigh cup filled with sample.
Density is the weight per unit volume at a specified temperature. Density determination is important measurement to convert weight into a volume unit.
When coatings are manufactured the raw materials are measured in weight units to control the process.
The finished product is usually sold in volume units . In accurate density volume measurement is fundamental to an efficient operation.
A density cup has also been described as a liquid pycnometer. An ISO cup is a popular design globally.
All the density cup designs work the same way having a precisely made cup with small hole in the lid to allow for removal of excess liquid and air.
How to use :
(1)Weigh the Cup when empty
(2)Fill with the liquid
(3)Place lid on the Cup
(4)Weigh the Gravity Cup when full and divide the weight by the volume to determine the Specific Gravity
