3. Preparation for Measurement

3-2. Necessary tools

Prepare the following tools for measurement.

Tools for sampling


‹ Beaker
A beaker is necessary when sampling test liquid by sampling pump.
‹ Sampling pipette, syringe
Necessary for a viscous sample (lubricant, honey syrup, etc.) or liable with air bubble.
Tools for cleaning sampling tube
‹ Waste cloth
Wipe off residual sample liquid or solvent in order to prevent from self-contamination.
Rinse solution for cleaning inside cell before sampling
‹ Rinse solution 1 (dissolution)
Rinse solution 1 is for cleaning inside the cell.
Use a solution n that dissolves remaining sample in the cell.
‹ Rinse solution 2 (drying)
Rinse solution 2 is for drying the cell.
Use a highly volatile solution that easily dissolves the rinse solution 1.

When satisfactory rinse solutions 1 and 2 are not available, add rinse solution 3 which can
dissolve both rinse 1 and 2 used in between two steps.
A highly volatile solvent can be used not only as rinse solution 1 but also 2 as well.

Typical rinse solutions are as shown below: (Select as necessary for sample character)
Beverage
Oil
Soft drink Wine
Rinse solution 1 Water
Water Toluene

Oscillation frequency is predicted where temperature of sample and cell differs from each other
to a large extent. Measuring time is very short but deviation is sharp.

Level: 2 (Fast)
Oscillation frequency is predicted where temperature of sample and cell differs from each other
to some extent. Measuring time is short but deviation is substantial.

Level 1: (Normal)
Oscillation frequency is predicted where temperature of sample and cell is close to each other.
This mode is typical and standard since accurate results can be expected in this mode.

Level: 0 (Slow)
Oscillation frequency is determined after temperature of sample and cell reaches equilibrium.
Measuring time is long but highly accurate results can be obtained.

8-2. Technical tips


Here is the list of technical tips to help solve your measuring problems like
““Measurement does not end”” or ““The result is not stable””.

The result of density measurement mostly depends on sample character and


condition. Understanding the nature of density meter is the key for correct
measurement.

Sample type Technical tips


Air bubble appears. The air bubble is liable when cell temperature is
higher than sample. Warm the sample first.
Air bubble is formed. The tube line leaks somewhere. After dried, overhaul
the joints and clean with tissue.
Air bubble is blended. When sampling viscous liquid by pump, air bubble
may be blended. Use syringe instead.
Solid is deposited. When cell temperature is lower than sample,
dissolved substance may be solidified. Raise cell
temperature to the same level as sample.
The result is unstable. Concentration distribution may not be even in viscous
sample (e.g. sucrose). Carefully stir sample liquid to
equalize concentration.
Repeatability of separated liquid is not stable.
When the solvent does not dissolve in sample liquid,
measurement result may not be stable with
contaminated measuring cell. Change the solvent.
Measuring time is long. If temperature compensation is not necessary, turn it
off to shorten measuring time.

9-2. Glossary and reference


Given in this section are ““Measurement principle of oscillation-type density
meters”” and ““Glossary and reference (incl. tables of air and pure water).””

Measurement principle of oscillation-type density meters


Suppose a weight hangs at the end of a rod. When the weight is flipped by a
finger, the rod starts to vibrate. When the weight is heavy, it swings slowly. If
it is light, it swings fast. This means the frequency depends on the mass of
weight. Since density value is proportionate to mass, the density of unknown
substance can be known by measuring the frequency of weight in cubic if the
cubic volume is constant.

When the measuring is vibrated in a chamber filled with liquid or gas, its
oscillation frequency differs from density of sample.
Suppose T is oscillation frequency, T can be expressed as follows:

dVc + Mc
T = 2π
K
Where d = Density of sample in cell
Vc = Volume of sample, that is cell volume
Mc = Mass of measurement cell
K = Constant
K Mc
d= 2
T2 −
4π Vc Vc
The above equation tells the density is proportionate to the frequency.
By measuring standard substance of which density is known (density: da, dw),
the oscillation frequency Ta, Tw are obtained, and then factor F.
F can be calculated from calibration.
K d − dw
F= = a2
4π Vc Ta − Tw 2
2

Therefore, density is obtained by measuring oscillation frequency T of


unknown substance.

d = d a − F ( Ta 2 − T 2 )

65 DA-650/-645/-640
9. Additional Information

Principle of viscosity correction


The oscillation-type density meter is under the influence of viscosity. Viscosity
compensation corrects the effect of viscosity. Since low viscous standard
liquid is used for calibration liquid (reference), measurement of highly viscous
sample would turn out to be higher than true value.

The effect of viscosity when measured is as follow:


Low-viscosity liquid (water, Japanese sake, whisky): less than 5mPa·s
The effect: 0.0001g/cm3 or less
Viscous liquid (olive oil, tomato juice, engine oil): 5~1000mPa·s
The effect: 0.0001~0.0008g/cm3
High-viscosity liquid (honey, mayonnaise, hair conditioner): over 1000 mPa·s
The effect: 0.0008 g/cm3 ca.

Density
Mass (e.g. gram) per unit volume (e.g. cm3).

Specific gravity (SG) (= relative density)


SG is the ratio of mass between a substance and reference standard.
Typically, water (4°C unless otherwise specified) is designated as reference
for solid and liquid.
Since it is the ratio of density, the unit is dimensionless.
Density of water at 4°C is 0.999972g/cm3 while SG is approx. 30ppm.

DA-6xx series uses the following expressions on display or printout:


d: Density calculation at measuring temperature.
d(t/4): SG calculation for water density at 4°C. (For Fahrenheit °F,
d(t/4)→d(t/60) and SG calculation for water density at 60°F.)
d(t/t): SG calculation for water density at measuring temperature.

Brix
Brix is the name of scale for solid concentration in liquid, sometimes
expressed as °Bx. The unit is ‘‘%’’ or ‘‘degree.’’
Brix is used to express sucrose concentration (sugar content) in those
industries like foods, winery, sugar and fruit farm.
Usually they use the scale for density of sucrose at 20°C converted to weight
percent concentration (w/w%).
Sucrose solution of weight percent 30% (100g solution contains 30g sucrose
and 70g water) is expressed as Brix 30%.
Generally Brix is known as the measure of sucrose concentration (sugar
content) but some liquids contain density of solids other than sucrose.
Therefore, Brix does not necessarily express sucrose concentration only.
While soft drinks or fruit juice contain soluble solid in a large proportion, the
Brix shows its sucrose concentration (sugar content) as is without problems.

Baling
Baling is the name of German scientist Karl Baling who developed Baling’’s
concentration for weight percent of 17.5°C sucrose solution.
Brix comes from the name of Antoine Brix (Adolf Brix) who recalculated
Baling’’s reference temperature at 15.5°C.

Plato
Plato % expresses the extract content of sweet wort or beer in sucrose
weight % as the same SG (20°C/20°C) sucrose solution. It is based on
““Plato’’s Extract Table”” (correction of measurements made by C. J. N. Baling)
compiled for German government by F. Plato in 1918. Later, further
corrections were made by adding precise adjustments and thermal
corrections. At preset, Plato is used in many analysis as the industry standard
international unit (except UK) for wort and beer. When used as unit, it is
abbreviated as %P or °P (degree Plato). Plato degree uses Baling’’s corrected
17.5°C reference temperature with constant weight g at 17.5°C: Plato degree
= 260×(1-1/gravity)

Baume’’s hydrometer

Heavy Baume’’s degree


SG unit measured by Baume’’s hydrometer by French scientist A. Baume
expressed as °Be.
Heavy Baume’’s degree is for SG larger than 1.
Heavy Baume’’s degree = ((1/SG (15/4°C))-1)×(-144.3)

Light Baume’’s degree


SG unit measured by Baume’’s hydrometer by French scientist A. Baume
expressed as °Be.
Light Baume’’s degree is for SG smaller than 1.
Light Baume’’s degree = ((1/SG (15/4°C))-1)×144.3+10

Japanese sake degree


It is the unit for SG of sake, used as the measure to tell dry or sweet sake.
It is measured by a buoy for sake sample at 15°C.
Distilled water at 4°C is referenced (0). Those lighter than reference are
determined as + (plus)/dry whilst heavier than reference are ––
(minus)/sweet.
Japanese sale degree is defined by law as follows:
Japanese sake degree = ((1/SG (15/4°C))-1)×1443
From the above, below equation derives:
SG (15/4°C) = 1443/(1443+sake degree)

Ethanol degree
Unit of volume percentage of ethanol and water
Table of Ethanol degree and density is available. Reference temperature is
15°C. This unit is used in quality control of alcohol in beverages.

9. Additional Information

Extract
Scale name for extracted component of solution (Japanese sake).
The following formula is obtained from SG dS from ethanol degree and SG dA
(15/4°C) from Japanese sake degree:
Extract = (dS-dA)×260+0.21

API degree (API Baume’’s degree)


This is the unit for SG of crude oil defined by the American Petroleum
Institute.
API degree is obtained from the following equation:
API degree = (141.5/G)-131.5
Where G is mass of crude oil at 60°F (15.56°C) and shows ratio of mass of
the same volume of water at 60°F.
Crude oil varies in quality from place to place where produced. Some oil
contains mostly gasoline, some mostly heavy oil or those easily solidified or
none solidified.

Dwaddell degree
Unit for SG of dye
Water at 4°C is the reference (0).
Dwaddell is expressed by:
Dwaddell = (SG (15/4°C)-1)×200

Milk degree
Unit for SG of milk
Water at 4°C is the reference (0).
Milk degree is expressed by:
Milk degree = (SG (15/4°C)-1)×1000

Uncertainty
Uncertainty is the measure of dispersion (reliability) of measurement results.
Unification of expression and computation method has been initiated by the
International Committee of Weights and Measures (CIPM), and as the results,
in 1993, the International Standard Organization and seven other
international institutes co-edited ””Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in
Measurement””(GUM), where the word Uncertainty is used.

Traceability
The accuracy of measurement results can be traced, linked or related up to
the national or international standard.
Measuring instruments are calibrated by standard equipment, which is
calibrated by further accurate instrument (less uncertainty). If this process of
searching calibration continues, finally it reaches the national standard. When
the accuracy of a measuring instrument can be traced back to the national or
international standard, it is called traceable.
When the reference substance used in the analytical instrument is traceable,
the instrument can be defined as traceable to national standard.
Density/Specific Gravity Meters of the DA-6xx series are scientific instruments
traceable to the Japanese national standard.

Average (mean value)


The mean value is batch calculated by averaging dispersed measurand.
