DENSITY DETERMINATION
It is possible to determine the density of solids or liquids using this mode. The user
selects the type of density to be determined and then enters values to be used by
the balance.
The density mode allows the user to use a special Density Kit or use the below pan
weighing facility to perform the necessary weighing.
DENSITY OF SOLIDS
To perform the density of solids test, the user must have a method to immerse the
sample in the chosen liquid. The density of the liquid must be known or determined
from a look-up table.
For water and ethanol the density will be calculated based on the temperatures
entered using the numeric entry method (see section 5.1)
Steps:
1) Press [Mode] and then [Up] and [Down] keys to select density
2) Press [Enter] to enter Density mode.
3) Press the [Up] and [Down] keys to select the solids or Liquid method when
“DENSITY SOLId” or “DENSITY LIqUId” is displayed
4) Press [Enter] to select the solids method
5) Press [Up] or [Down] to select the liquid of choice- Water, Ethanol or Other
6) Press [Enter] to select the choice. For water and Ethanol the temperature will
be asked for. Enter the temperature using the numeric entry method (see
section 5.1)
7) For the “Other” choice the density will be asked for. Enter the density (g/cc)
using the numeric entry method (see section 5.1)
8) Press [Enter] to continue
