For the description of ocean currents accurate measurements of the density of sea water are of great importance. For this purpose, measuring instruments are needed which reach a small uncertainty. To ...

Scientists have measured the density of liquid iron -- the main component of rocky planet cores -- under conditions similar to Earth's liquid core: 1,000,000 atmospheres and 4,000 degrees Celsius.

In most applications, level measurements need to be quantified and sent electronically to an automation system, which requires some type of instrument. Sorting through the instrument selection process ...

A common way of measuring the level of liquid in a tank places a low-pressure sensor at the bottom. The pressure readout is the product of the liquid column height times the density of the liquid. As ...

VEGA delivers advanced nucleonic solutions designed for challenging energy production, processing, and transport environments ...

Measuring density is crucial in manufacturing many of today’s products. Being able to characterize the structure and quality of solid materials quickly and efficiently can not only help guide ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign developed an instrument to measure the density of the dust that kicks up when spacecraft thrusters interact with planetary surfaces as it ...

This release is also available in German. For oceanography – and there in particular for the description of ocean currents – accurate measurements of the density of sea water are of great importance.
