The Auto Density Gradient Column System has become the world’s benchmark for accurate density measurement of small solid polymer specimens using the column method according to ASTM D1505. Offered as a 3 or 6 column version, the built in on-board Microprocessor System accurately calculates the specimen’s density more quickly and more accurately by using the latest linear encoder technology that measures the samples position in the column relative to the calibrated glass marker floats. Once the correct position of the sample is recorded the density is displayed on the LCD screen.
