Specific Gravity - Acculab VICON Operating Instructions Manual

Specific Gravity

Purpose
Use this application program to determine the specific gravity of a sample. The result is displayed with one decimal place.
Beaker and wire not included with balance/scale.
Example: Determine the specific gravity of a solid.
Step
1. Select application program
2. Select Specific Gravity
3. Confirm setting
Symbol " " on the display: application is active
4. If necessary, zero the balance/scale
5. Start application program
6. Confirm the display, "airval"
7. Determine weight of the sample in air:
place sample on the balance/scale
8. Store weight-in-air value
9. Remove sample from balance/scale
10. Determine weight of sample in liquid:
connect wire and set up beaker
11. Confirm the display "Water"
12. Place sample in liquid
13. Store the weight-in-liquid value and view the result
14. Clear the display
15. Exit the Specific Gravity application
16. Reactivate Specific Gravity (if no other
application program has been selected)
17. Repeat procedure starting from Step 5.
