MEASURING THE DENSITY OF A SOLID
5.
Assemble the kit as described in the procedure below. Note that the assembly procedure depends on
the balance model.
5.1. Assembling the Kit: BM / GH / HR-i Series
Note: The kit can not be used with the BM-20 and BM-22 of the BM series balances.

1.
Remove the weighing pan, pan support, breeze
break ring and dust plate from the balance.
2.
Place the density pan stand on the balance.
3.
Place one balance weight (small) on the density
pan stand.
4.
Place the beaker stand so that it does not touch
the density pan stand.
5.
Attach the thermometer clamp to the beaker
and
insert
thermometer clamp.
6.
Pour a liquid with a known density (such as
distilled water) into the beaker and place the
beaker on the beaker stand.
7.
Place the density pan on the density pan stand.
8.
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.
9.
When the value displayed on the balance is
stable, press the RE-ZERO key to set the
displayed value to zero.
Now the balance is ready for density measurement.
Note: The BM and GH series balances are equipped with a
density mode to calculate the density of a solid.
For details, refer to the instruction manual of each series.
