- Abstract:
- The Federal Office of Metrology and Surveying (BEV, Austria) has developed and realised a new fully automatic test System for hydrostatic weighing and determining the density of solids up to 50 kg. This volume comparator allows a full automatically determination of the volume of E1 weights and plummets in the range from 1 kg up to 50 kg through direct comparison with one single volume reference (e.g. a Silicium sphere) with high accuracy. In this volume comparator, two hydrostatic weighing systems for density determination work simultaneously together so that it is possible to compare the density of a small, well-known standard sinker directly with the density of a submerged solid with masses up to 50 kg.
