Definition of densimeter in English:
densimeter
noun dɛnˈsɪmɪtədɛnˈsɪmədər
An instrument for measuring density, especially of liquids.
Example sentencesExamples
- For instance, the densimeter may be particularly useful in scientific experimentation, in the packaging industry, or where ever the density of a fluid must be known.
- Nuclear densimeters are a set of devices that measure the decay of a radioactive source and they correlate this decay to the density and water content of soils.
- In the densimeter a thermometer is built to correct the value read at different temperatures from that of calibration.
- We can manufacture densimeters with the scale and brand you require, on orders over a certain amount.
- These high precision densimeters provides a highly accurate calculation of specific gravity of almost any object of any shape.
Origin
Mid 19th century: from Latin densus 'dense' + -meter.
