Resource overview
Accurate density determination is critical for material testing, quality control, and research applications. This application note explains how the Sartorius Quintix® Pro laboratory balance and YDK03 density determination set simplify hydrostatic weighing based on the Archimedean principle. Learn how guided workflows, air buoyancy correction, and surfactant use improve measurement accuracy and repeatability. The note also demonstrates how density determination supports additive manufacturing quality assurance by reliably detecting small infill differences in 3D-printed PETG components.
Key takeaways:
- How hydrostatic weighing measures density using the Archimedean principle
- How Quintix® Pro and YDK03 streamline density determination workflows
- How air buoyancy correction and surfactants improve measurement accuracy
- How density testing verifies material quality and PETG infill density in 3D printing
