The excess of liquid pouring through the capillary tube is removed with an
absorbent paper. Then, the vessel is immediately placed on a scale, and its
mass is determined as quickly as possible. During the mass measurement,
due to contraction of the volume of liquid its level usually decreases in the
capillary tube, but this does not matter if at the time of placing instrument on
the scale, it was completely filled and had correct temperature. Small
diameter of the capillary tube prevents evaporation of
the liquid from the vessel, and therefore it does not affect the measurement
result.
Before starting the density determination using a pycnometer, data on its
volume and mass should be inserted to scale's memory. If pycnometer's
mass is not specified in the local parameters, than the process starts with
determining mass of an empty pycnometer.
