The frequency of calibrations with certified liquid density standards depends
on the requirements and the user's judgement. Recommendation: 1 to 2
calibrations per year.
Notes on the 5 liquid density standards, supplied with the DMA:
-
The density of the ultra pure water (density standard) is given at different
temperatures with an uncertainty of 0.00001 g/cm
95%.
-
The listed densities are valid for the time at which the liquids were filled.
-
The calibration liquids should be stored in a cool and dark place!
-
The calibration liquids must be used immediately and only once after the
bottle has been opened!
