Density Kits and Accessories

Using a balance to find density is an easy and convenient process that delivers highly-reliable results when compared to other methods where volume is determined independently of the weight. METTLER TOLEDO offers kits for density determination of solid, liquid and porous substances.

The Density Kits are easily mounted on your balance in a few simple steps to provide a convenient and precise solution.

The Kits contain a support plate, brackets, glass beakers, thermometer, holders for floating and non-floating solids, and a bottle of wetting agent.

The built-in application in our laboratory balances provides complete workflows for various denisty methods. The application guides you step-by-step through the procedure, collects the results, calculates the density and allows statistical evaluation of the measurement series.

For determining the density of liquids, the optional 10 ml glass sinker is available both calibrated and non-calibrated. Alternatively, the density of liquids can be determined with the use of a pycnometer or digital density meters. 

To measure the density of bulky samples that don't fit into the Density Kit, you can use a dedicated hook for XPR/XSR large platform, as well as for MS-L precision balances which allows you to weigh below the balance. Small platform XPR/XSR balances are already equipped with a built-in hook.

The 7 helpful tips and tricks support you in using the right tools and creating suitable conditions to perform measurement of a solid sample with a density kit on a lab balance  correctly and accurately.

Watch how simple it is to measure density on your METTLER TOLEDO laboratory balance. The Density Kit enables you to determine the density of solid, liquid, porous and viscous substances. With step-by-step instructions and automatic calculations, the whole process is easy.

This video shows step by step how to easily and quickly install the new density kit for XPR/XSR analytical balances.
