Introduction

The METTLER TOLEDO Densito 30PX is a portable measuring instrument suited for
determining the density of liquids. The instrument uses the oscillating body method.
To fill the measuring cell the built-in sample pump or a syringe may be used.
The results are automatically calculated into one of the following units: density,
specific gravity, API degrees, Brix, % Alcohol, % H
or a user-defined unit. The value is then shown on the backlit display.
For exact measurements, it is imperative to correct the temperature's influence on
the density. Depending on the selected unit the Densito 30PX carries out this
result correction automatically. For this task, the instrument uses either inter-
nally-stored tables or one of the 10 temperature-compensation coefficients en-
tered by the user.
The results, along with the sample identification, temperature, temperature-coef-
ficient, date and time can be saved. Together with the instrument identification
they can then, via the integrated infrared interface, be transferred to the computer
or printed out on a printer.

Safety measures

Measures for your protection
- Do not work in an explosion-hazardous environment! The instru-
ment housing is not gastight. Otherwise, there is a risk of explo-
sion from sparks and/or risk of corrosion by gasses which can
seep in.
- Always hold the end of the sample tube over a waste container!
There is a risk of injury when emptying corrosive substances.
- Leave the syringe in the sample intake after injecting a sample!
Otherwise, the sample will run out of the measuring cell.
Measures for operational safety
- Never press on the measuring cell window! This can influence
the oscillation characteristics of the measuring cell.
- Do not clean the measuring cell with concentrated NaOH (caus-
tic soda) or HF (hydrogen fluoride)! Both substances chemically
corrode the measuring cell.
- Use batteries of the specified type only. Otherwise, proper opera-
tion cannot be guaranteed.
- Do not submerge the housing in liquid! The instrument is only
resistant to splashed water.
- Ensure that the following environmental conditions are met:
• no strong vibrations present
• not in direct sunlight
• no high humidity present
• no corrosive gasses present
• temperature between – 20 °C and 70 °C
• no strong electrical or magnetic fields present
