A new single sinker magnetic suspension densimeter is commissioned in Qatar University. Pressure and temperature measurements, data acquisition system have been installed to densimeter for very accurate density measurements. Calibration of the densimeter has been made and total uncertainty of the density measurements are calculated. Densities of synthetically prepared natural gas like mixtures have been determined via this experimental apparatus. Experimental results are compared to some equations of state commonly used in industry.
