Upon completion of this topic the student will be


able to know about density
• Definition

• Necessity of measurement

• Types of densitometers

AEI405.68 2
Definition

• It is defined as the mass (m) per unit volume (v) .

ρ = m/v

The unit of density is kg/m3

AEI405.68 3
•Volume is measured with a
graduated jar
•Mass is measured with weighing
machine
•By knowing volume and mass
density can be measured

Necessity of measurement of density

• Density measurement is necessary in chemical

industries where the determination of concentration of a

solution or mixture is based on density.

• In flow measurements while converting the volumetric

flow rate into the mass flow rate, the density of a

substance should be known.

AEI405.68 9
Types of densitometers
• Densitometer is a device used to measure the density of
a given sample

• There are three types of densitometers

• They are :

• Displacement type densitometers

• Fluid dynamic type densitometers

• Capacitance type densitometers

AEI405.68 10
