  Welcome! 

 
Thank You for Your A&D Purchase! 
This is the Instruction Manual for the Density Determination Kit. 
The Density Determination Kit, when combined with our electronic balance (GX-200, GX-300, 
GX-400, GX-600, GX-800, GX-1000, GF-200, GF-300, GF-400, GF-600, GF-800, GF-1000), 
allows the density of a solid or liquid to be measured easily. 
Before using the Density Determination Kit, please read this manual thoroughly. 
 
 

 Best Measurement Conditions  

 

 This density determination kit allows the density or specific gravity of a solid or liquid to 

be measured. However, the results of measurements may be affected by various 
factors that could cause errors, thus can not be guaranteed. 

 

 Do not use the density determination kit for measuring the density of chemically active 

substances. 

 

 After using the density determination kit, clean all surfaces to remove rust and oxides. 

 

 A balance is a precision instrument, so avoid shocks or excessive loads. 

 

 To improve measuring accuracy, allow the temperature of liquid (water) and sample 

(solid) to equalize to the ambient temperature and perform measurement in a stable 
environment. 

 

 The breeze break provided with the balance can not be used with the density 

determination kit. To perform an accurate density measurement, use the glass breeze 
break available as an option (GX-10).
