9) The balance will request the weight of the sample in air by displaying “AIR
WEIGHT”. Place the item on the pan or receptacle, if the density kit is used.
Press [Enter] to determine the value
10) After completion of the air weighing, the balance will request the weight in
liquid by displaying “LIQUID WT”. Submerge the item in the liquid and press
[Enter] to start the liquid weighing. The balance will compute the density of
the sample and display it as “DENSITY XXXX g/cc”
11) After completion of the liquid weighing, remove the item from the pan
12) Press [Mode] to continue with a new sample or press [Esc] to return to
normal weighing
DENSITY OF LIQUID
When finding the density of a liquid, it is necessary to weigh a sample of known
volume in air and then in the liquid. The volume of the sample must be entered by
the user. The last known volume is stored for use at any time.
If using the density determination kit, the volume of the plumb is marked on its
support, i.e. 10.123
Steps:
1) Press [Mode] and then [Up] and [Down] to select Density mode.
2) Press [Enter] to select the Density mode
3) Use [Up] and [Down] to scroll through the solid or liquid method
4) When “DENSITY LIqUId” is displayed, press [Enter] to enter the liquids method
5) The volume will be asked for. Enter the volume using the numeric entry
method (see section 5.1) or continue using the last volume entered
6) Press [Enter] to continue
