The DA-130N Portable Density Meter is a highly versatile, ergonomically designed device for measuring the density and specific gravity of liquids. It finds applications across several industries, including food and beverage, petroleum, pharmaceuticals, and electronics.
Uses of the DA-130N
1. Beverage Industry: Measures density and Brix percentage in drinks like milk, juices, wine, and distilled spirits (e.g., whisky, sake).
2. Petroleum Products: Used for testing the density of crude oil, fuel oil, and lubricants.
3. Food Processing: Helps assess the concentration of ingredients in foods to ensure consistent quality.
4. Pharmaceuticals: Supports compliance with Japanese Pharmacopoeia by checking densities of various solutions.
5. Electronics and Plating: Monitors concentration in etching, flux, or plating solutions.
Method of Operation
- The device operates based on the oscillation method, following ASTM D7777 standards, ensuring high precision. A syringe-style hand pump allows operators to control sampling efficiently with one hand. The meter features automatic temperature compensation for reliable measurements, regardless of ambient conditions.
- The LCD display shows multiple parameters, including density, temperature-compensated density, alcohol concentration, API gravity, and more. It also provides data about stability, battery level, and sample number during operation.
Key Features
- Lightweight and Portable: Weighing only 360g, the DA-130N is easy to carry and operate for extended periods.
- Backlit Display: Ensures clear visibility even in low-light conditions.
- One-Hand Operation: Enhances ease of use and efficiency during measurements.
- Data Storage and Communication: Stores up to 1,100 samples and supports data transfer via infrared communication, allowing integration with PC systems.
- Wide Range and High Precision: Measures densities between 0.0000 to 2.0000 g/cm³ with an accuracy of ±0.001 g/cm³ and a resolution of 0.0001 g/cm³.
This meter is particularly valued for quality control tasks, providing rapid, accurate measurements with minimal effort, and it suits industries needing precise density tracking for production consistency and compliance.
