Abstract
A liquid bulk density monitoring apparatus which is particularly suitable for monitoring suspended sediment levels has a plummet suspended from one end of a balance beam and submerged in a vessel containing a liquid to be monitored. A sensor detects tilting of the beam from a reference or balance position as a result of variation in the sample bulk density, and produces an output to an output device for recording density variations. The apparatus is designed to compensate automatically for any changes in temperature, for example by making the plummet of a material having a coefficient of thermal expansion substantially the same as that of the liquid being monitored.
