Density Measurement (Specific Gravity) - A&D BM series Instruction Manual

14. Density Measurement
The balance is equipped with a density mode. It calculates the density of a solid using the weight
of a sample in air and the weight in liquid. We recommend the use of the AD-1653 Density
Determination Kit.
Notes
The density mode was not selected for use when the balance was shipped from the factory.
To use this mode, change the function table settings to activate the density mode.
Refer to "5.2. Storing Active Units".
When the density mode is selected, the response adjustment function cannot be used.
The minimum display is 0.0001 g while using the density mode.
Formula to obtain the density
The density can be obtained by the following formula.
A
 = x 
A - B
Prior to measurement: Changing the function table
Prior to measurement, change the function table as follows:
1 Selecting the density mode.
The density mode is not available in the factory setting. To use the mode, select it (unit of
in the function table. Refer to "5.2. Storing Active Units". Then, the density mode can be selected as
one of the weighing units by pressing the
2 Selecting a way to set the density of a liquid.
Select the liquid density input method from the function table below.
