ISO 17034-Certified Reference Material from the Market Leader of Digital Density Measurement

Sep 06 2022

Anton Paar, maker of the world’s most accurate digital density meter, has set up an independent, ISO 17034-accredited production site for reference materials – letting customers attain density results that are traceable to the International System of Units (SI), globally comparable, and true. Density meters must be calibrated on a regular basis, as they may be exposed to conditions influencing the quality of results. The better the certified reference material, the better the measurements.

The lowest-possible measuring uncertainty

Using one of the new standards, measured by hydrostatic weighing, means measurements are referenced to the primary method of density measurement. No other reference method comes close – the accuracy of values is on the same level as for values attained by national metrology institutes. Anton Paar ISO 17034-certified reference materials are specified down to 0.015kg/m3.

How ISO 17034 outperforms ISO 17025

ISO 17034 requirements always include those of ISO 17025: So Anton Paar’s certified reference materials conform with both ISO standards. An ISO 17034 certificate guarantees the correctness of reference values throughout the density standard’s lifetime – not just on the day of production. Anton Paar monitors this correctness every three months. Values can be retrieved from the online certificate anytime.

Application-specific density standards, available at a click via webshop

Anton Paar will initially offer density standards in the range from 0.75 kg/m3 to 1.25 kg/m3. Safety and intuitive handling are key: “We want to encourage our customers to calibrate their instruments themselves during the year,” says Barbara Laky, head of the ISO calibration and CRM lab. “That’s why we’re offering non-toxic material that is easy to fill and measure.”

Safety-glass ampoule: Zero contamination

As the typical plastic closures of other density standards are prone to exchange with ambience – in some cases one can even smell the liquid from the ampoule – Anton Paar relies on sealed safety-glass caps. Composition variation and quality loss are excluded, ensuring that the content exactly corresponds to the values specified on the certificate. The ampoule cap has a shatterproof breaking point and is openable at a simple finger-press click. There’s no easier way to keep the accuracy of density measurements as sky-high as on the very first day.

The standards are available at a click in the Anton Paar webshop.
