The Design of Digital Liquid Density Meter Based on Arduino

Abstract

A measure of liquid thickness is needed to make a dough or formula for medicinal syrup. The tools to measure the thickness available in the market are analog that is less accurate and precision. To overcome these problems, digital density measuring devices are needed. The limitation of the digital density meter, especially liquid, urges the author to carry out further research on the digitization of this measuring instrument. This research aims to make a digital density meter for liquid matter with a high level of measurement accuracy, as the reference measurement study for liquid density in digital form. The instrument was designed using the load cell method as the main sensor. It was also equipped with a DS18B20 waterresistant temperature sensor to measure the temperature of the liquid. The data were analyzed to obtain the accuracy and error of the liquid density measurement from the density meter. The liquid samples used for research were Pertamax, solar, and water. Sample accuracy and error measurement results were 99.83 percent and 0.17 percent respectively for Pertamax, 99.63 percent and 0.37 percent for solar and 99.46 percent and 0.54 percent for water. The measured density value was finally shown on the 16x2 LCD.

A Working Prototype Using DS18B20 Temperature Sensor and Arduino for Health Monitoring

“…Here the DS18B20 [ 26 , 28 ] temperature sensor is used and shown in Fig. 4 [ 26 , 28 , 29 ]. Advanced features of used temperature sensor are 1-wire interface, 64-Bit serial stored in an On-Board ROM, not required external component.…”

A Low-Cost Lightweight Deflectometer with an Arduino-Based Signal Interpretation Kit to Evaluate Soil Modulus

“…These objects are placed on the load cell one by one, and the output digital reading for each object is recorded sequentially. The list of calibration factors is calculated as follows [ 38 ]: where D i is the load cell measurement when the i th weight is applied, D 0 is the load cell measurement with a zero load, and W i is the i th weight (reference). The mean C of the C i values is then evaluated to calibrate the measured weight.…”

Perancangan Sistem Perhitungan Debit Air Otomatis Berbasis Internet of Things pada PDM Tirta Garut

“…Dengan cara pengendalian sistem untuk melakukan perhitungan otomatis menggunakan alat dan kemudian data dari alat di kirimkan melalui jaringan internet dan di representasikan menggunakan aplikasi dari penelitian tersebut didapatkan beberapa masalah seperti, sistem pelayanan belum adanya indikator pelayanan secara realtime kepada setiap pelanggan, dan pada alat atau media yang digunakan belum menggunkan atau memanfaatkan teknologi internet of things untuk melakukan sharing data [11][4], [12]- [14]. Adapun tujuan dari penelitian yang dilakukan untuk dapat membuat rancangan suatu alat dengan menggunakan metode prototype, yang secara otomatis dapat menghitung penggunaan debit air secara otomatis dan data yang dihasilkan didapat secara realtime sehingga dapat memberikan kemudahan bagi perusahaan dalam melakukan pengecekan secara rutin dan memberikan hasil berupa sistem yang efektif serta efisien.…”
