Density & Specific Gravity

To maintain consistency of a coating, the Density should remain constant from batch to batch.

Density Cups, also known as Specific Gravity Cups or Picnometers, are used to determine the mass per unit volume (Specific Gravity) of a liquid at a given temperature. Specific Gravity is defined as the ratio of the density of a given substance to the density of water, when both are at the same temperature. As the Specific Gravity Cup is an exact measurement of the volume of the liquid, it is imperative that the exact weight of the sample is obtained.
