InquiryPRODUCT
Density/Specific Gravity Meter
DA-860/850/840
Features
The DA-800 series density meters measure the density/specific gravity of liquid samples by employing an oscillating sensor to determine resonant frequency. What’s more, the instruments can calculate sample concentration according to common industry standard formulas and tables.
The instruments have a built-in temperature stabilizing function, allowing you to measure density/specific gravity at your desired temperature.
Measurement can be conducted with as little as 1mL of sample (if injected manually), and in as fast as 10 seconds for a temperature-stabilized sample (when viscosity correction is disabled). All models in the DA-800 range come with viscosity correction functionality as standard.
Data Integrity (DI) support functions are provided as standard to help you maintain and manage your valuable data.
The interface has been enhanced to support a variety of uses, such as a separate structure for the operation unit (tablet/PC) and measurement unit, wireless LAN connection, and connection of multiple units.
The instrument has a space-saving design and can be integrated with a semiautomatic cleaning unit (optional). Also included is a camera for viewing inside the measurement cell, improving reliability, convenience, and efficiency.
・DI support functions are included as standard
The following features are included as a standard for Data Integrity.
