DENSITY OF LIQUID
When finding the density of a liquid, it is necessary to weigh a sample of
known volume in air and then in the liquid. The volume of the sample must be
entered by the user. The last known volume is stored for use at any time.
If using the density determination kit, the volume of the plumb is marked on
its support, i.e. 10.123
Steps:
• Press [Mode] and then [Up] and [Down] to select Density
• Press [Enter] to select the Density mode
• Use [Up] and [Down] to scroll through the solid or liquid method
• When "DENSITY LIqUId" is shown, press [Enter] for the liquid method
• The volume will be asked for. Enter the volume using the numeric entry
method (see section 7.1) or continue using the last volume entered
• Press [Enter] to continue
• The balance will request the weight in air by displaying "AIR WEIGHT".
Place the glass plumb supplied with the density determination kit in air
on the weighing pan and press [Enter] to start the air weighing. The
value will be shown in the last selected unit.
• After completion of the air weighing, the balance will request the weight
in liquid by displaying "LIQUID WT". Submerge the item in the liquid and
press [Enter] to start the liquid weighing. The weight will be shown in
the last selected unit. After completion of the liquid weighing, the
balance will compute the density of the sample and display it as
"DENSITY XXXX g/cc"
• Remove the item from the pan
• Press [Mode] to continue with a new sample or press [Esc] to return
to normal weighing
• Pressing [Print] will print the density value in g/cc.
