A fluid density measurement device (8) that includes a housing (54), defining a chamber (18) and an aperture; a resonator (10') having length that is at least 5 times greater than its smallest diameter and having a longitudinal axis and a nodal plane, transverse to the longitudinal axis. The resonator further includes tube (44) having a first end and a second end; a second-end closure (52), closing the second end; and a drive rod (48) centrally attached to the second-end closure and extending to the tube first end. Further, the device includes a resonator transducer assembly (22) and the resonator is sealingly joined to the aperture at the nodal plane, so that an enclosed portion (ΙΟΑ') extends into the chamber and an exposed portion (ΙΟΒ') extends outside of the chamber, and wherein the chamber tends to assume the temperature of the exposed resonator portion, causing the resonator to be isothermal. |
