How dense is it?Part density can be determined nondestructively by using a new densitometer A device that calibrates the relative strength of a color using complementary filters. Contrast with colorimeter. from Plastics Consulting Inc., Palm City, Fla. The machine requires only a shaving of material, about 3.5 g, says Muller. The equipment consists of a scale with a water container and a test stand. The sample is first weighed on the test stand, then it is immersed im·merse tr.v. im·mersed, im·mers·ing, im·mers·es 1. To cover completely in a liquid; submerge. 2. To baptize by submerging in water. 3. in the water and weighed. The instrument calculates the difference between the weights and computes the specific gravity specific gravity, ratio of the weight of a given volume of a substance to the weight of an equal volume of some reference substance, or, equivalently, the ratio of the masses of equal volumes of the two substances. .
