3.4 The principle of density measurement
The density measurement is based on the electromagnetically
induced oscillation of a U-form tube made of glass. A magnet is
fixed to the U-tube and a transmitter induces the oscillation. The
period of oscillation T is measured by a sensor.
A complete forward and backward vibration is known as a
period, its duration is the oscillation period T. The maximum
deflection in the vertical direction is the amplitude A.
Measuring tube with defined volumetric capacity:
A) Excitation: Magnetic
B) Detection: optical
The number of periods per second is the frequency f. Each glass tube oscillates with its own intrinsic frequency:
Design and function10 Density Meter Excellence
The frequency is a function of the total mass and changes when the tube is filled with a gas or liquid. If the

mass is increased, the frequency falls, i.e. the period of oscillation T becomes longer, according to the below
formula:
: Density of the sample in the measuring cell [g/cm3]
VC: Volume of the sample (capacity of the measuring cell) [cm3]
mc: Mass of the measuring cell [g]
K: Measuring cell constants [g/s2]
The density ρ can hence be calculated as follows:
The relationship between the density and the period of oscillation T is as follows:
A and B are constants that depend on the elasticity, structure and mass of the measuring cell. As they vary from
cell to cell, they must be determined by means of direct measurement. This is known as a coefficient determination or adjustment of the instrument. The coefficient F of the measuring cell is calculated by measuring the
period of oscillation T of two standard substances (usually air and water) with known densities:
= Density of air [g/cm3]
A
= Density of water [g/cm3]
W
TA = Period of oscillation of the air measurement [s]
TW = Period of oscillation of the water measurement [s]
After the coefficient F of the measuring cell has been determined by an adjustment, the unknown density of a
substance S can be calculated via the following formulas, whereby TA, TS and TW in the following formulas no
longer represent the period of oscillation itself but the oscillation value OSC derived from it:
The following diagram shows the how the density of an unknown substance is determined:
Design and function 11Density Meter Excellence

S

Note
The coefficient F is temperature-dependent. The volume of the measuring cell and hence its period of oscillation
changes with the temperature. For very precise measurements, the coefficient of the cell should be determined
for the temperature at which you measure your samples.
The oscillation value OSC described here is required to calculate the coefficient of the measuring cell and hence
the density of the unknown sample. The period of oscillation T itself is not displayed on the instrument. The
density meters only display the so-called oscillation value OSC that is directly derived from the period of oscillation T.
The oscillation value OSC is thus only an auxiliary value that represents the period of oscillation in high
resolution as a whole number without digital places.
3.5 Design of the measuring cell and the temperature controller
For a specific determination of the density a very precise measurement and adjustment of the temperature must
be ensured.
As the temperature of the probe cannot be measured directly in the U-form tube without falsifying the
measurement of the oscillation, the temperature is measured via three thermistors at different locations. The
temperature is measured at four different points:
Temperature 1: Sensor in the measuring cell, directly above the surface of the U-tube. This temperature
is shown as a status display (cell temperature).
Temperature 2: Temperature of the thermoblock (block temperature) (not displayed)
Temperature 3: Reference temperature (not displayed)
Temperature 4 Ambient temperature (not displayed)
The following schematic diagram shows the design of the module:

(ambient temperature)
During a measurement the temperature of the sample must be regulated (heating or cooling) to precisely
correspond to the selected measuring temperature. The density of the sample changes during heating or
cooling (density is temperature-dependent!). The same is true for the resonance frequency of the U-tube. The
sample temperature corresponds exactly to the selected temperature (and hence the cell temperature, Sensor 1)
when the resonance frequency stabilizes. However it takes a long time before this thermal equilibrium is
completely established. With respect to the shorter measuring times, various measurement reliabilities can be
chosen so that even before the measurement is completed the temperature and the OSC can be extrapolated to
stable end values. This means that sufficiently accurate results can be obtained before stabilization:
End of the measurement with:
1) Meas. reliability "Maximum":
T and OSC stable
2) Meas. reliability "High": T
and OSC extrapolated; narrow
tolerance
3) Meas. reliability "Medium": T
and OSC extrapolated; medium
tolerance
4) Meas. reliability "Minimum":
T and OSC extrapolated; greater
tolerance

A distinction should be made between the following two cases in the installation of instruments:
1. There is still no setup entry available in the unit (delivery state).
A new entry has been generated and the parameters automatically generated.
2. A setup entry was previously manually created in the instrument:
The PnP parameters are automatically entered, the remaining parameters, previously edited by the user,
remain unchanged.
When a PnP instrument is unplugged, the status changes to "not installed".
Below is described how you can administer the various devices in setup. This includes the creation of devices
or changing the parameters in the setup.
Create automation units
So that methods for the application of automation units can be created and configured without the automation
unit being connected, these units must be created in the setup via the button New.

It is not possible to delete the entry of a connected device.
Note
If you want to delete an entry for a unit that is not connected from the list, a message with the termination

• Minolta colorimeters CM-5/ CR-5
Note
• The Lovibond colorimeters can be connected to the USB interfaces. For this purpose the USB – RS232
adapter is required (contained in the connection kit).
• For each device type only one entry is possible.

SevenEasy™ / SevenCompact™ pH/ion and conductivity meters
1 Select the following for the SevenEasy™ and SevenCompact™ measuring instruments (also refer to the
operating instructions for the measuring instrument concerned):
Manual end point measured value acquisition,
set the unit [pH]" ([mV] not supported).
2 For the SevenCompact pH and conductivity meters, the following must also be selected (also refer to the
relevant operating instructions):
an interval time of 1s (in menu>Interval measurements),
interface=printer (in menu>Data transmission),
"Send data to interface" (in "Type of data transmission").
3 For temperature compensation, set the unit [°C] at the measuring instruments. Two types of temperature
compensation exist:
- ATC (automatic temperature compensation) with a temperature sensor connected.
- MTC (manual temperature compensation) with no temperature sensor connected.
Note:
The pH or conductivity meters switch automatically, depending on the arrangement.
If the temperature unit at the pH meter or conductivity meter is set to [°C], the results "TpH" and "TCond" will
be converted to the temperature unit set in the instrument, i.e. either [°C] or [°F] . By contrast, if [°F] is set
at the pH or conductivity meter, no result will be calculated. "--" will be output in the results field.
Note
The conductivity units are [mS/cm]/ [μS/cm] (depending on the range) or [mS/m][μS/m] (depending on the
range). However, the results are expressed in [μS/cm]. If you wish to have the result displayed in [mS/cm] or
[mS/m][μS/m], it will be necessary to recalculate the result using the "Calculation" method function.
Colorimeter
- Lovibond
The Lovibond colorimeter can be used for extinction or transmission measurements. The wavelengths are
output in 5nm (in the range 420 – 710nm).
Note
A color measurement may take longer than 25s.
- Minolta colorimeters CM-5 / CR-5
The Minolta colorimeters can be used for transmission measurements (liquids).
Transmission data are supplied in 10nm increments within the spectral range 360 – 740nm.
A color measurement takes approximately 1s.
The measurements involve high-energy light flashes. For this reason, color scales are not offered for reflection
measurements in the crude oil industry.
Note
• The CR-5 colorimeter does not supply any spectral data.
• Calibration is possible directly at the colorimeter only. The USB link must be disconnected.
• "Illuminant" and "Observer" can be set in the "Configuration" method function. For more information, see
"[Methods and products: Method functions> Configuration}Page50]".
