DENSITY TESTING
Helpful Tips
Repeat density test 3x and average for optimal results.
It is recommended to use a thousandths scale for accuracy.
WHAT IS DENSITY?
Density is a characteristic property of
a substance. The density of a
substance is the relationship between
the mass of the substance and how
much space it takes up (volume).
PERFORMING A DENSITY TEST
Tare empty 10 mL beaker on thousandths scale.
Fill the included beaker up to the 10 mL line
with ground material.
Add material to the beaker until it reaches the 10
mL fill line and turn the machine to High, hold for
one minute.
Continue adding material until it settles at the
10ml fill line while the beaker is vibrating in the
machine.
Remove beaker from machine and place onto
the scale with torn beaker weight. Weigh beaker
with material inside on the thousandth scale.
