The VIDA density meter from PAC (USA) offers unmatched reliability in density measurement through a user-friendly, fully automated, one button-push operation. VIDA by ISL|PAC is based on the proven oscillating U-tube method and integrates innovative features that ensure reliable and accurate analysis. 

The VIDATM analyzers integrate innovative features to ensure reliable and accurate analysis of light and mid distillates, heavy oils, food and beverage applications or mobile labs.

VIDA is designed to be a true "push-button" solution, based on the proven oscillating U-tube method. Its smart software automates every step of the test sequence from sample injection, bubbles detection to system cleaning and data reporting allowing minimal operator attendance but also enhanced flexibility. The automatic cleaning feature reduces maintenance time and consumption of solvents, even when testing difficult samples.

We offer integrated tables for automatic conversions of density output for: API crude oil, refined products & lubricants, as well as alcohols, acids, alkalis, sugars and customizable tables (VIDA80H).

Special functions guarantee a complete operation traceability together with extra quality assurance in data management and strict compliance with ASTM D4052, ASTM D5002, ASTM D5931, ISO 12185, ISO 15212-1, DIN 51757 and JIS K2249-1.

VIDA comes in several presentations for different applications:

MODEL APPLICATION
VIDA 40  Light and mid-distillates
VIDA 40H Medium and heavy distillates
VIDA 80H Heavy distillates, pharma, food & beverages
VIDA ML  Mobile labs
