A repeatability of 0.067 ( % vol.) for samples with an alcoholic strength between 4 and 18 %vol is reported. Valid for DMA 4100, DMA 4500, DMA 5000
Wines: COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 128/2004
Amending Regulation (EEC) No 2676/90: Community methods for the analysis of wines: The results of determining the alcoholic strength (in %vol) of a wide range of wines show the comparability of measurements carried out with the hydrostatic balance and the electronic density-meter using a frequency oscillator and demonstrate that the values of the validation parameters are similar for both methods. A repeatability of 0.061 ( % vol.) for electronic densimetry is reported. Valid for DMA 4100, DMA 4500, DMA 5000
Wines: COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2676/90
