For the development of reliable equations of state for technically and scientifically important fluids, in particular, accurate pρT measurements of these fluids are required. For the experimental determination of these basic properties several new accurate densimeters have been developed and built up by our group since about 1980.

Two-sinker densimeter

By means of the two-sinker densimeter the pρT properties of pure fluids can be measured in the homogeneous gas and liquid region including the critical region and, in particular, on the entire (vapour + liquid) coexistence curve. The densimeter covers a temperature range from 60 K to 340 K, a pressure range from 0.001 MPa to 12 MPa, and a density range from 1 kg/m3 to 2000 kg/m3. The total uncertainty in density measurement is ≤0.01% to ≤0.02%. The measurements taken with this densimeter are presented by the keyword pρT measurements.

Single-sinker densimeter

By means of the single-sinker densimeter the densities of pure fluids can be measured in the homogeneous gas and liquid region. The densimeter covers a temperature range from 233 K to 523 K, a pressure range from 0.1 MPa to 30 MPa, and a density range from 10 kg/m3 to 2000 kg/m3. The total uncertainty in density measurement is ≤0.02% for the most regions of the fluid state, except for low gas densities below about 40 kg/m3. The measurements taken with this densimeter are presented by the keyword pρT measurements.
