Density Determination Of Solid Material With A Density Of Less Than 1 G / Cm 3 - KERN ACS-A03 Operating Instructions Manual

4.3
Density determination of solid material with a density of less than 1 g/cm
At solid material with density less than 1 g/cm
different methods is possible.
Method 1:
As measuring density a liquid with less density than that of the solid material, e.g.
ethanol approx. 0.8 g/cm
This method should be applied when the density of the solid is just slightly different
from that of the distilled water.
Using ethanol is not recommended, when the solid material is being attacked.
When working with ethanol, you must observe the applicable safety regulations.
Method 2:
Here the sample is not placed upon, but under the lower sample dish. For this
purpose, use the immersion basket for floating solid matter [See chap. 1.1, no.(1)-2].
 Activate "density determination solid matter" and enter the parameters for the
auxiliary fluid, see chap. 4.1.
 Density measurement see chapter 4.2, in step 5 place the sample under the
sifting bowl. If the buoyancy of the sample is so much that the immersion basket
is lifted, place a dummy weight on it and tare it away when weighing in air.
