The density of a coating should remain constant from batch to batch. Also known as Density Cups or Specific Gravity Cups, Picnometers are used to determine the specific weight per unit volume of a liquid at a given temperature.

A stainless steel density cup used to calculate the specific gravity of paints and similar materials. The test sample is compressed in the cylinder to 10 bar, which eliminates bubbles inside the liquid for a more precise reading than a standard density cup.
Frequently asked questions
How is density measured?
Density is measured using a device called a picnometer or densimeter, which allows the mass of a known volume of liquid to be calculated.
What is a specific gravity cup?
A specific gravity cup is used to determine the specific weight per unit volume of a liquid, typically in paint and coatings.
Are there variations of the density tester?
Yes, there are various types such as Elcometer 1800 densimeter and other specific gravity cups available.
