“…The densimeter covers a technically and scientifically important region of the (p, q, T) surface of fluids, namely, a temperature range from 233 K to 523 K, a pressure range from 0.1 MPa to 30 MPa, and a density range from 2 kg Á m À3 to 2000 kg Á m À3 . Since putting this densimeter into operation, comprehensive measurements on argon [8], nitrogen [8], methane [13], carbon dioxide [13], ethylene [9], ethane [9], sulphur hexafluoride [9], n-heptane [4], n-nonane [4], 2,4-dichchlorotoluene [4], and bromobenzene [4] have been performed. As the design of the singlesinker densimeter was already described in previous papers [7,8], only the measuring principle is briefly outlined here.…”
