The balance will now request the weight of the sample in air by displaying "". Place
the item on the pan, or in receptacle if the density kit is used, and press [Setup]. The
weight in air will briefly be shown in the last weighing unit selected.
After completion of the air weighing, the balance will request the weight in liquid by
displaying "". Submerge the item in the liquid and press [Setup] to start the liquid
weighing. The weight in liquid will briefly be shown in the last weighing unit selected,
followed by the computed density of the sample displayed as "XX.XXX
".
g/cc
Remove the item from the pan and press [Mode] to continue with a new sample or press
[0/T] to return to normal weighing.
10.4.4.2
Density of a 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,
e.g. 10.123 cc.
Steps:
Density Liquid
Press [Mode] and then [Up] and [Down] keys until "
" symbol is displayed and
then press [Setup] to enter this chosen density mode.
When "
Density Liquid
" is selected, the type of liquid used for the test must be selected:
The volume will be asked for by displaying "" followed by a value which is the bulb
volume in cubic centilitres (cc). Enter or change the volume if required, using the keypad
numeric entry method (see section Error! Reference source not found.) and then press
[Setup] to continue.
The balance will now request the weight in air by displaying "". Place the glass
plumb supplied with the density determination kit in air on the weighing pan and press
[Setup] to start the air weighing. The value will briefly be shown in the last weighing unit
selected. The balance will now request the weight in liquid by displaying "".
Submerge the glass plumb in the liquid and press [Setup] to start the liquid weighing. The
weight will briefly be shown in the last selected unit, followed by the computed density of
the sample displayed as "XX.XXX
"
g/cc
Remove the item from the pan.
Press [Mode] to continue with a new sample or press [0/T] to return to normal
weighing.
If a printer or other serial device is connected then pressing [Print] will print the density
value in g/cc.
