[0047] Preferably, the float body 1 is a cylinder with an open hollow cylinder at one end. The float body 1 is a thin-walled hollow cylinder with a simple structure, which is easy to process and can remain stable in the calibration liquid. Scale lines are provided on the outer wall of the cylinder. The float cover 2 is sealed with the open end of the float body 1 to prevent the calibration liquid from entering the interior of the float body 1. The diameter of the counterweight assembly 3 is equivalent to the inner diameter d of the float body 1 and is detachably connected to the float body 1. The counterweight assembly 3 can adjust the center of gravity of the float body 1 and can adjust the density.

[0049] Furthermore, the float body 1 and the float cover 2 are made of 304 or 316 stainless steel with a density of 7.9 g / cm 3The material is 304 or 316 stainless steel with strong corrosion resistance, suitable for acid, alkali, salt and other liquids. The overall density can be adjusted to the target liquid range, such as 0.8 ~ 1.5g / cm 3 The effective density of the float body 1 and the float cover 2 can be adjusted in the range of 800 to 1500 kg / m 3 The same design logic can be used for the outer diameters of the float body 1 and the float cover 2 ranging from 20 to 50 mm.

[0050] Preferably, a counterweight groove 11 is provided on the inner side wall near the bottom of the float body 1. The counterweight groove 11 facilitates the positioning of the counterweight assembly 3 to make the float body 1 more stable. In this embodiment, the counterweight groove 11 has a depth of 2 to 5 mm and a width of 3 to 8 mm.

[0051] Preferably, the counterweight assembly 3 includes at least one counterweight block 31 , a thread 311 is provided on the side wall of the counterweight block 31 , the number of counterweight blocks 31 can be increased or decreased inside the float body 1 , and 1 to 5 counterweight blocks 31 are provided, each weighing 1 to 5 g.

[0052] Furthermore, the thread 311 is threadedly connected to the counterweight groove 11, and when putting in or taking out, the counterweight block 31 can be fixed by dripping glue on the metal rod and then rotating it to put in or take out.

[0053] During use, a counterweight 31 is placed in the float body 1 and is sealed to the float body 1 through the float cover 2. This prevents the liquid from entering the float body 1 when the float-type densitometer is placed in the calibration liquid. The float body 1 is a thin-walled hollow cylinder with a simple structure, which is easy to process and can remain stable in the calibration liquid. Scale lines are set on the outer wall of the cylinder of the float body 1. The float body 1 and the float cover 2 are made of 304 or 316 stainless steel, which has strong corrosion resistance and is suitable for various liquids such as acids, alkalis, and salts.

[0072] Preferably, the center of gravity is adjusted by adding a counterweight 31 at the bottom of the float body 1 to ensure vertical floating.

[0073] Surface marking: There is a scale mark on the top of the float body 1. When the float body 1 is immersed in the calibration liquid and the liquid level is aligned with the scale mark, the density is 1110 kg / m 3 When the float body 1 floats on the liquid surface and aligns with the scale line, the density is 1130kg / m 3 ,

[0076] Floating correction: reduce the counterweight 31, raise the center of gravity of the float body 1, and increase the height of the float above the liquid surface;

[0077] This calibration protocol covers experimental design, procedures, data recording, and error analysis for density meters made of 304 or 316 stainless steel hollow floats, ensuring the meter's accuracy and reliability.

[0078] Furthermore, the effective density of the float body 1 is verified to be consistent with the target liquid density of 1110 kg / m 3 Matching;
