Why Dry a Density Meter after Rinsing?

2026-10-02English

Rinsing removes the sample; drying removes residual liquid. When a drying check is required, rinsing alone does not confirm readiness.

Why

Rinsing liquid left in an oscillating U-tube can affect the next sample or air check. The guide distinguishes rinsing, drying and reference checks.[1]

Whether and how to dry depends on the actual workflow and model instructions; do not impose one program on all measurements.

What to confirm

Confirm tube state and check conditions. The guide’s air example is approximately 0.0012 g/cm³ at 20 °C and normal atmospheric pressure, not a universal acceptance limit across conditions.
