A very common instrument for the direct measurement of the density of a liquid is the hydrometer, which measures the volume displaced by an object of known mass. A common laboratory device for measuring fluid density is apycnometer; a related device for measuring the absolute density of a solid is a gas pycnometer. Another instrument used to determine the density of a liquidor a gas is the digital density meter - based on the oscillating U-tube principle.

What does a hydrometer measure?
Hydrometer measure the density of liquids.
Why is the hydrometer used to find density?
A hydrometer can be used to find the specific gravity (relative density) of a liquid by determining how much water it will displace. Various calibrations are used for different kinds of liquids.
Why do scientist measure mass and volume?
So they can determine the density of a substance. Density = mass/volume. Density can be used to identify a substance.
What instrument is used to measure density how i measure density of acid in battery?
It is called a hydrometer.Also, density equals mass divided by volume.See the Related Questions to the left for more information about hydrometer and density.yup
What measurement is used to measure dogs?
That depends what you want to measure: length, width, volume, weight, mass, density, etc.
How is bone density test done?
A bone density test employs x-rays to measure the amount of calcium and other bone minerals are retained with the bone segment. A bone density test is used to diagnose osteoporosis.
What does photon absorptiometry measure?
bone density.
What does a DEXA scan measure?
Bone density
What equipment is used to test for osteoporosis?
Dual-energy Xray Absorptiometry is used to measure bone density to detect Osteoporosis.
What dual x-ray is used as low exposure radiographic measurement of the hips and spine to measure bone density?
absorptiometry
Where can I find more information on bone mineral density?
Bone Mineral Density tests measure the density of minerals in your bones to determine bone strength. This could often be found to be beneficial. However more information can be found at http://www.webmd.com/osteoporosis/bone-mineral-density-test
What tools can best measure bone density?
more likely to catch osteoporosis at an early stage are computed tomography scans (CT scans) and machines called densitometers, which are designed specifically to measure bone density
What does a hydrometer measure?
Hydrometer measure the density of liquids.
What is medical procedure code 77080?
It is for a DEXA scan, which is used to measure a woman's bone density..if she has the beginnings of, or a more advanced case of osteoporosis.
What is a bone density test used for?
Post-menopause unless there's a reason to do it sooner.
What is a bone density test?
Scroll down to related links and look at "Bone density - Wikipedia".It's a test for quantitative measurement of the mineral content of bone, used as an indicator of the structural strength of the bone and as a screen for osteoporosis.
What is density used for?
Density is a measure of how tightly the matter within it is packed together.
