Key comparison on density determination of liquids using oscillation type density meters
Project Description
This density of liquids comparison using oscillation type density meters is carried out in the framework of EMPIR 17RPT02 rhoLiq.
The aim of the key comparison is to compare the results of the density determinations of liquid samples by oscillation-type density meters of the participating laboratories.
Density measurements of liquids are mainly performed by laboratories to provide a means of calibrating or checking liquid density measuring instruments such as oscillation-type density meters.
The BEV is the Pilot Laboratory for the comparison supported by the PTB (Germany).
For the comparison samples of deuterated ultrapure water, Tetrachloretylene, and of oil with a high viscosity will be measured. The temperature range is from 5 °C to 20 °C.
The measurements should be carried out at atmospheric pressure by using a digital density meter. The reference values for the comparison liquids will be determined by the hydrostatic method (BEV, PTB).
Final Report 2023-03-18
The comparison has been completed and results are available in the KCDB.
For the comparison, the density of samples of deuterated ultrapure water, Tetrachlorethylene, and of oil with a high viscosity were measured by oscillation type density meters and compared to a reference value derived from BEV and PTB measurements by hydrostatic weighing.
