Principle of TT-DGA-3A Density Gradient Column Apparatus
A glass test tube is filled with two easily mixed solutions. The resulting mixture has a lower density at the top of the tube and a higher density at the bottom of the tube and varies in a linear ratio. A precisely calibrated glass float marker of known density is placed into this gradient column, and this glass float is suspended at the exact point that matches the density of the solution.
Test Standards of TT-DGA-3A Density Gradient Column Apparatus
ASTM D 1505, ISO 1183-1:2004, ISO 11542-2
Application of TT-DGA-3A Density Gradient Column Apparatus
- Density measurement of high molecular weight materials
- Density measurement of fibers (natural and artificial)
- Density measurement of resin products
- Density measurement of quality control products
- The density gradient apparatus is designed to determine the density of solid plastics with high precision, also can do quick comparation of the subtle difference of density of similar materials.
Features of TT-DGA-3A Density Gradient Column Apparatus
- The automatic density gradient solution confecting system consists of a peristaltic pump, a magnetic stirrer and a conical flask. Compared with manual liquid confect, it significantly improves convenience and stability and is more suitable for users with less experience.
- Automatic Constant-Speed Collecting Device: By automatically and continuously lifting and lowering the sample at a constant speed (10mm/min), it reduces the disturbance to the density column, thereby extending the service life of the gradient column and lowering the measurement cost.
- External cold water circulation system, lowering the requirements for the operating environment of the equipment, temperature ranges from 15℃ to 40℃.
- The inner liner body of the bath is made of highly transparent resin, with good thermal insulation, high transparency and strong anti-vibration.
- Compared with the immersion and the floating-sinking method, the density gradient method has the advantages of high measurement precision, easy operation and wide measurement range.
