This part of ISO 15212 specifies metrological and
other requirements for oscillation-type density
meters which are used in laboratories for all kinds
of homogeneous fluid samples. In addition, a
method for adjustment and calibration of laboratory
instruments is given. The instruments are either
stand-alone units or part of more complex
measuring equipment supplying additional test
parameters of the sample.
This part of ISO 15212 does not describe the method
of use of density meters for particular applications
or products such as petroleum products or
beverages. Such methods of use can be defined by
relevant institutions such as ISO or responsible
government agencies.
This part of ISO 15212 does not define an
instrument specification for any particular
application. For this information reference should
be made to the relevant standard covering the
method of use.
This part of ISO 15212 is addressed to
manufacturers of density meters and to bodies
testing and certifying the conformity of density
meters. In addition, this part of ISO 15212 gives
recommendations for adjustment and calibration of
density meters by the user.
