Gilson CS-10 Operating Manual

Pulp Density & Specific Gravity Scale
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
A. Mounting:
A 2-1/2in diameter supporting ring provides a means to
hang the scale mechanism.
B. Adjustment:
Fill the plastic bucket to the spill holes with clear water. The
bucket spill holes are located so that slightly more than
1,000 cc. will be contained. Fill the bottom of the slot to
proper level to permit spillage at 1,000 cc. Hang this on the
scale hook until the scale pointer is vertical, reading 1.000
on the outer ring of the dial. The scale is now calibrated.
C. Determining the Specific Gravity of Dry Solids:
The innermost circle marked for determining the specific
gravity of dry solids is used for this purpose. A sample of
material for determination should be dry and preferably all
-10 mesh, +100 mesh. Hang the dry empty bucket on the
pulp density scale; then pour in the sample of dry material
until the pointer indicates 1,000g (1kg) on the outer circle of
the dial. At this point the bucket will contain one kilogram
of dry material. Dump the sample material onto a rolling
cloth or paper sheet. Fill the bucket about 1/3 with clear
water. Pour the sample slowly into the bucket, making sure
that all material is thoroughly wetted, and all air bubbles are
eliminated. After wetting, add clear water until the bucket
is filled to the overflow level. Hang the bucket on the scale
and read the specific gravity of the dry solids directly on the
innermost circle of the dial.
D. Taking a Sample:
Fill the plastic bucket with pulp or liquid requiring mea-
surement. The liquid level should reach the spill holes in
the bucket. Any spill on the outside of the bucket should
be washed off. Hang the bucket on the scale and determine
the specific gravity or percent of solids.

E. Determining Specific Gravity of Pulp:
To obtain this measurement, hang the filled bucket on scale
and read directly on the outer white ring where pointer
stops.
