Oscillating U-tube Technology
A.KRÜSS Density Measurement Tools
The measurement of the density of an aqueous solution can be utilized to identify substances, to determine their quality or purity and to measure their concentration in binary or quasi-binary mixtures. Digital density meters for liquids are a common tool utilized for quality assurance in the pharmaceutical, food & beverage, chemical and petrochemical industries.

A.KRÜSS optical density meters utilize the highly accurate oscillating U-tube method in combination with controlled temperature for simple, fast and precise measurements of all flowable media, including viscous ointments and creams. These oscillating pharmaceutical density meters also provide information concerning substance conversions and reaction dynamics. Their accuracy and versatility are two of the biggest reasons these density measurement instruments are vital equipment across a broad range of industries.
