Page 10: Applications
EN-8 PX Series Balance 4. APPLICATIONS The PX balance can be operated in 6 application modes by long pressing the Function / Mode button. Weighing Note: Before using any application, be sure the balance has been leveled and calibrated. Use this application to determine the weight of objects in the selected unit of measure. Weighing 1. - Page 11 PX Series Balance EN-9 3. After confirmation by pressing Yes, the message "Clear APW?" will appear on the screen. 4. If the APW of the last Parts Counting operation needs to be kept, press No when the message "Clear APW?" displays. 5.

Page 15: Density Determination
PX Series Balance EN-13 Density Determination Note: Before using any application, be sure the balance has been leveled and calibrated. Use this application to determine an object’s density. A Density Determination Kit, Part Number 80253384, is designed to be used with PX series balances. Illustrations in this procedure refer to the density kit, however, you may use whatever lab apparatus that will suit the requirements for density measurements. - Page 16 When making density measurements, the material should weigh at least 10.0 mg on an analytical balance and 100 mg on a precision balance. Balance Preparation with Ohaus Density Kit (Optional) Allow the balance to warm up sufficiently before making measurements.

Page 17: Px Series Balance En
PX Series Balance EN-15 Q = Density of the solid A = Weight of the solid in air B = Weight of the solid in the auxiliary liquid Q0 = Density of the auxiliary liquid at a given temperature (this value depends on the temperature). The density table for water is included in Discovery balances. - Page 18 EN-16 PX Series Balance decimal places. To correct for this, the air buoyancy (0.0012 g per cm volume of the body) is added to the calculated result: Calculated density + 0.0012 g/cm air buoyancy = effective density Surface tension of the auxiliary liquid Adhesion of the liquid to the Weigh Below Hook causes an apparent weight increase of up 3 mg.
