Overview
The Simplicity of Touch Screen Measurement with Flexibility
Oscillating U-Tube with Viscosity Correction and Reference
Rudolph DDM Series Density Meters utilize an oscillating U-tube with full range viscosity correction and reference oscillator that allows for long term calibration stability and measurement at all temperatures with a single calibration (Patent # 7,735,353).
Full Feature VideoView® with Automatic Scanning of Entire U-Tube
Rudolph’s exclusive VideoView is protected under Patent #7,437,909 and provides superior high-resolution visual bubble detection of your sample with live on-screen video viewing. Images can be saved with the sample results and may be viewed and/or printed as desired.
A full view of the entire U-tube is possible at 2X magnification. Further, the U-Tube can zoom to 6X or 10X so the user can see that the U-Tube is air bubble free. The 6X and 10X magnification are also extremely helpful in detecting the cleanliness of the glass U-tube. The clarity, magnification and resolution are the very best available in the market.
Three magnified video-assisted views of the entire cell are available, in 2X, 6X and a 10X magnifications
Images may be saved with results for subsequent review
Windows Embedded® Operating System
32 gigabytes of internal memory, the biggest on the market, allows almost unlimited memory for saving measurement data. All Rudolph Density Meters are network ready. Data may be saved and exported directly to your server or to any desired directories.
Internet access is possible directly from all Rudolph Density Meters. The disk protection feature protects the operating system against malware and virus infections in networked environments.
Windows® based navigation architecture is so intuitive that most operators will never read the manual, but should you wish to reference the manual, it is stored right on the Rudolph instrument’s internal memory.
Copy methods, transfer concentration tables, download data, among other functions via the USB ports on the front and back of the unit.
Five USB ports allow for quick and easy connection to a mouse, keyboard, printer, bar code scanner, or memory stick. All Rudolph Density Meters connect directly to your server or server printer without additional software or PC access.

Choose the Sample Load Option Solution for Your Application
Vertical Load
Sample injection is done vertically against gravity reducing air bubbles. Suitable for left and right handed operators as opposed to manual horizontal injection. Plunger is easier to push with all samples and there is more control over the syringe than with Horizontal Load.
Gives the ability to apply more pressure to the syringe when injecting viscous samples without harming operators.
Much easier cleaning. When a measurement is complete and the syringe is removed, gravity will force the sample down and into the waste jar. As opposed to the traditional horizontal load, if the waste tubing was bent, the sample would pour backwards and spill out on the table.
Preserves the nozzles and nozzle bodies much better since there will not be added pressure from pushing on them when loading a sample. All the pressure will be on the top plate, thus saving in future maintenance costs.
MM Peri Pump
Most versatile option. Allows three ways to inject the sample:
automatically through the supplied needle, syringe or manual vertical injections.
Benefits customers that have multiple inexperienced users as the PeriPump will automatically inject the sample the
same way every time.
Ideal for saving money in consumable syringes
An added benefit is the cleaning process, or possible lack of cleaning and going right into your next sample which will decrease operational times.
Yields same results as with manual injection for all non-viscous types of samples, so no change in performance occurs.
Inserts directly into your bottle
LoadAssistTM
Great option as there are two ways to inject a sample: by manual vertical injection or having the PeriPump pull the syringe down for you.
Ideal for pulling the rinse solutions automatically into the system thus making the rinsing part of the operation much easier and independent.
Pressure mode available for carbonated samples.
Benefits customers that have multiple inexperienced users as the PeriPump will automatically inject the sample the same way every time.
No change in instrument’s performance when compared to manual injection.
Traditional Horizontal Load
Samples can be easily loaded in the Density Meter by directly injecting your sample into the inlet port.
You can watch the sample progress through the U- Tube and monitor for bubbles with a 2X magnification.
Need a closer look? View at 6X or 10X magnification.
When your measurement is complete simply flush the U-Tube with your choice of solvent and use the convenient built in
air pump to dry the U-Tube.
Only 1ml of sample is required.
