Dasymeter (Noun)
Meaning
Densimeter consisting of a thin glass globe that is weighed in a gas to determine its density.
Classification
Nouns denoting man-made objects.
Examples
- Scientists use a dasymeter to determine the density of different gases in their laboratory experiments.
- By comparing the weight of the dasymeter in air and in the unknown gas, researchers can accurately calculate the gas's density.
- To measure the density of the gas mixture, the chemist carefully lowered the dasymeter into the container.
- Using a dasymeter filled with helium, researchers compared its weight in air to determine the relative density of the two gases.
- By applying Archimedes' Principle, researchers used a dasymeter to measure the density of different gas samples accurately.
