  • Page 9: Density4/5 Introduction

    (Continued) DENSITY4/5 Introduction The DENSITY4/5 is the new density meter available from Reichert and designed for fast and reliable measurement of relative density and concentration of fluid samples. It is designed for continuous density measurement in a broad range of applications and has a sealed measurement system with the flexibility to measure the density for many fluids.

  • Page 10: Oscillating U-Tube

    P reference Oscillating U-Tube The DENSITY4/5 has a built-in reference oscillating U-Tube, which is a new method of measuring density. Approximately 1.0 ml of sample is needed for a measurement and the device offers very high accuracy and resolution. Working with an oscillating U-Tube is ultra fast compared to other methods and true density is provided in the measurement.

  • Page 31: Cleaning & Maintenance

    If you measure similar samples in sequence and the samples can be easily removed from the measuring cell, it is not required to rinse the DENSITY4/5 after each measurement. In this case a careful rinsing pro- cedure using adequate purifiers must take place after the measurement sequence.

  • Page 32: Choosing Correct Purifier

    The best way to inspect the device is to remove it from the power supply. It is advised to clean the device after removing. If any deviations are higher than the specified values, please contact the Reichert – cus- tomer service.
