Page 13: Chapter 1 Product Overview
Chapter 1 Product Overview Introduction The Thermo Scientific Sarasota FD910, FD950, and FD960 liquid density meters (collectively called “density meters” in this guide) share a common design that provides a high accuracy density measurement of single phase liquids and slurries. The different instrument designations relate to the material of construction.
