Measuring The Density Of A Solid; Assembling The Kit - A&D GXA-14 Instruction Manual

5. Measuring The Density Of A Solid

Assemble the kit as described in the procedure below.
5-1.

Assembling The Kit

1. Remove the weighing pan and breeze break ring from
the balance.
2. Place the density pan stand on the balance.
3. Place the beaker stand so that it does not touch
the density pan stand.
4. Attach the thermometer clamp to the beaker and
insert the thermometer into the thermometer clamp.
5. Pour a liquid with a known density (such as distilled
water) into the beaker and place the beaker on the
beaker stand.
6. Place the density pan on the density pan stand.
7. Adjust the amount of the liquid so that the sample,
when placed on the lower pan (in the liquid), is
about 10 mm below the surface of the liquid.
8. When the value displayed on the balance is stable,
press the
RE-ZERO
value to zero. Now the balance is ready for density
measurement.
GX-AE / GX-A / GF-A series balances are equipped
with a density mode to calculate the density of a
solid. For details, refer to the instruction manual of
GX-AE / GX-A / GF-A series.
