(Murad Ahmed) Grop/c: Liquid Denisty Measurement

This document discusses several techniques for measuring the density of materials, including hydrometers, hydrostatic balances, immersed body methods, pycnometers, and air comparison pycnometers. It notes that different methods measure different types of density, such as bulk or skeletal density, so it is important to understand the type of density and material being measured. Homogeneous materials have a uniform density that can be calculated by dividing the total mass by the total volume. For heterogeneous materials, the density varies by location and must be determined around small volumes at different points.

LIQUID DENISTY MEASUREMENT


Measurement of density
A number of techniques as well as
standards exist for the measurement of
density of materials. Such techniques
include the use of a hydrometer (a
buoyancy method for liquids), Hydrostatic
balance (a buoyancy method for liquids and
solids), immersed body method (a buoyancy
method for liquids), pycnometer (liquids
and solids), air comparison pycnometer
(solids), oscillating densitometer (liquids),
as well as pour and tap (solids).[7] However,
each individual method or technique
measures different types of density (e.g.
bulk density, skeletal density, etc.), and
therefore it is necessary to have an
understanding of the type of density being
measured as well as the type of material in
question.
Homogeneous materials
The density at all points of a homogeneous
object equals its total mass divided by its
total volume. The mass is normally
measured with a scale or balance; the
volume may be measured directly (from the
geometry of the object) or by the
displacement of a fluid. To determine the
density of a liquid or a gas, a hydrometer, a
dasymeter or a Coriolis flow meter may be
used, respectively. Similarly, hydrostatic
weighing uses the displacement of water
due to a submerged object to determine
the density of the object.
Heterogeneous materials
If the body is not homogeneous, then its
density varies between different regions of
the object. In that case the density around
any given location is determined by
calculating the density of a small volume
around that location. In the limit of an
infinitesimal volume the density of an
inhomogeneous object at a point becomes:
ρ ( r → ) = d m / d V {\displaystyle \rho
({\vec {r}})=dm/dV}
, where
d V {\displaystyle dV}
is an elementary volume at position
r {\displaystyle r}
. The mass of the body then can be

expressed as.
