Determining Density Of Liquids; Volume Determination Of The Sinker - KERN PBS-A03 Operating Instructions Manual

5 Determining density of liquids

For density determination of liquids, a plummet is used, whose volume is known. The
sinker is weighed first in air and then in the liquid whose density is to be determined.
From the weight difference results the buoyancy from where the software calculates
the density.
The volume of the added glass sinker will be computed as described in the following
chapter 2.1.
5.1

Volume determination of the sinker

 Prepare balance as described in chapter 2 "Installation of density determination
set".
 Dest. Fill water into the container. Filling height should be approx. ¾ of the
capacity. Heat sample liquid until temperature is constant.
 Keep the sinker ready
